  2. ================= Airtime - Live Broadcast Together =================
  3. =========================================================================
  4. Airtime is an open source application that provides remote and
  5. collaborative automation of a broadcast radio station.
  6. Home page: http://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/
  7. Major features:
  8. * Web-based remote station management. Authorized personnel can add
  9. programme material, create playlists or smart blocks, and stream in live,
  10. all via a web interface.
  11. * Automation. Airtime has a scheduler function that enables users to
  12. create shows with content for playback at the exact date and time specified.
  13. Playlists, smart blocks and remote stream URLs can be used multiple times.
  14. * Solid playout. Airtime uses the open source Liquidsoap streaming language
  15. for reliable and precise playback to multiple outputs.
  16. * Open, extensible architecture. Stations are free to extend and alter
  17. all parts of the program code, under the GNU AGPLv3 license.
  18. INSTALLATION
  19. ------------
  20. Basic installation has two steps:
  21. 1) Run the install script, located in the Airtime root directory.
  22. For an interactive installation, run:
  23. sudo ./install
  24. If you're using a terminal that is not running Bash, you'll need to run
  25. sudo /bin/bash ./install
  26. instead. You may need to install Bash first.
  27. The installer will then prompt you about how you want to set up your Airtime
  28. installation.
  29. For a non-interactive full installation (do this if you're installing Airtime from
  30. scratch and don't have any of your own configuration set up), run
  31. sudo ./install -fiap
  32. What this means:
  33. -f - force; non-interactive (no prompts)
  34. -i - install the default Icecast 2 setup for Airtime
  35. -a - install the default apache setup for Airtime
  36. -p - create a default Airtime postgres user
  37. This will install all components necessary for Airtime, and set up
  38. /usr/share/airtime as your web root (where apache looks for your Airtime files)
  39. There are several options for installation - to see them all, run
  40. sudo ./install --help
  41. 2) Once you've run the installer, open a web browser to http://localhost to run
  42. the interactive setup. (If you have a custom apache configuration, navigate to
  43. your Airtime web host instead.)
  44. If you just want to run Airtime with default settings, you won't need to change
  45. anything, but if you have any custom configuration settings you'll be able to
  46. specify them.
  47. Once you finish the setup process, you'll be presented with a configuration
  48. checklist so you can ensure that your Airtime installation is working
  49. correctly. If anything was mis-configured, the checklist will provide some .
  50. helpful tips to resolve the issue.
  51. If your checklist is all green, you're ready to get started with Airtime!
