#How to install nntpchan on Debian 8.5 Jessie

Install the initial dependencies:

apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install imagemagick libsodium-dev sox git ca-certificates libav-tools build-essential tcl8.5

##Install redis

It is not recommended that you install redis from the default package repos because it is probably not up to date.

Download the redis stable tarball and make:

cd /opt
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar -xzvf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make && make test && make install

The utils/ directory has a bash script that automates redis configuration. The default settings work just fine, so run the script:

cd utils && ./install_server.sh

Make redis start during system boot up:

update-rc.d redis_6379 defaults

It is strongly recommended that you use a password for redis. I am generating an sha512sum for a random string:

"good old fashioned memes will end global warming and restore our freedom of speech" | sha512sum

Edit /etc/redis/6379.conf and append the file with requirepass YOUR_LONG_PASSWORD_HERE.

Install golang

Download the golang tarball, extract it to /usr/local, and add it to the global profile:

cd /opt
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.6.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local/ -xvzf go1.6.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"' >> /etc/profile

Your PATH is set at login, so log out and back in before proceeding.

Install nntpchan

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/majestrate/nntpchan.git
cd nntpchan
./build.sh

Now you can proceed with setting up NNTPChan. When you get to the "set paths to external programs" step, you should change the ffmpeg path to /usr/bin/avconv.

Run ./srndv2 setup and follow the instructions here.
