install on Slackware? #1371

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Does BBB work with Slackware? Where are the recent instructions to install it? 
I found these instructions ( 
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/InstallingBigBlueButtonCentOS ), 
but they're deprecated. Thanks

BBB is developed, tested, and built with Ubuntu 10.04. Any other distribution 
is not officially supported.

Oh ok, so there are no instructions for how to install it on a generic Linux 
distro? If not, I can always go the VMWare route.

Thanks

Hi Alan,

We used to have instructions ... but it seemed to cause more support request on 
our mailing lists than it solved.  

Over the past few releases, we've focused on ensuring the packaging works 
really well -- and that has cut down the post from people who tried to follow 
the steps, made an error, posted, and it took a long series of e-mails back and 
forth to narrow down the error.

We concluded that if we could optimize the time we spend improving 
BigBlueButton itself, then that was the greatest benefit to the community.   
Hence our past decisions to focus on FreeSWITCH over asterisk, to focus on 
Ubuntu over CentOS, and to focus on packaging over step-by-step instructions.

Recommend you go the VMWare route.  You'll have BigBlueButton running in 30 
minutes or your money back.
