    Hi guys,

    I will be setting up a clipshare into my new dedicated box and I was wondering how can I install the following functions:

    GD Library 2 or higher
    FFmpeg (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu)
    Mplayer + Mencoder (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html)
    Flv2tool (http://inlet-media.de/flvtool2)
    Libogg + Libvorbis (http://www.xiph.org/downloads)
    LAME MP3 Encoder (http://lame.sourceforge.net)

    Basically, it's a software shown in http://www.clip-share.com/video-sharing-script-requirements.html

    anyone can show me some simple step on how to setup new software in linux dedicated box?

    I have root access of course.

    To install software on your dedicated server, simply copy the applicable installation package (RPM file) to your server and run it using a remote-administration tool, such as SSH.. For more information on RPM packages check this link-http://tldp.org/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO/index.html

    The best option is you can contact your host for the same. I think they can guide you in a much better way.Hope this helps:)

    toby, I really liked you zeal for learning new things :) I really appreciate it. All the best buddy.

    Regarding YUM : Yum is an automatic updater and package installer/remover for rpm systems, first you have install it on your machine and then using it you can install any rpm.

    Installation : blog.webhosting.uk.com/2006/06/06/simple-installtion-of-yum/

    To install these software on a Linux box, you would need the SSH access which you would need a putty software. There are many people on the net can install these software you, I highly recommend itdevil as he can install nearly everything that you can imagine. I been dealing with this guy over a year now and he has done a lot to me. If you want these software installed I can let him know about it. Plus he charges low rates for it. ;)

    Hello toby,

    I don't think it's much hard to install any software if you know what rpm you will required you just have to fallow
    steps which are described or you may take help of senior forum members.

    I know you can do it.....[ if you are short at time and don't want to play with your box then you may pay someone who knows linux very well ]
    For peace of mind better try to get managed dedicated hosting.
