Media Center is built and tested on [https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ Debian Buster] in both 32 and 64bit flavours. |
|||
Media Center is designed to run on 32 bit debian Wheezy. It will run under 64 bit debian Wheezy if you have multilib support enabled and if you install the necessary 32 bit libraries. There is user supplied information in the forum about running MC on unsupported distros. MC has the following general system requirements under Linux. |
|||
However Media Center has been shown to run without issue on numerous other distributions including |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
* [https://getfedora.org/ Fedora] |
|||
We require this: |
|||
* Debian derivatives such as [https://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] or [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Raspbian] (for the raspberry pi) |
|||
* libX11-6: installed size 1.5 megs |
|||
* [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jriver-media-center/ ArchLinux] |
|||
Details are available in the [https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/board,76.0.html Linux interact forum]. |
|||
The dependencies for this are: |
|||
* libX11-data: installed size 1.6 megs |
|||
* libxcb1: installed size .2 megs |
|||
* libxau6: installed size .1 megs |
|||
* libxdmcp6: installed size .1 megs |
|||
* libcurl3: installed size .1 megs (likely already there) |
|||
* lame: installed size: 1.2 megs |

Total installed X11 size : 4.8 megs |

For comparison, the current package size for MC (compressed) is 67 megs. |

You should be able to run with this minimal setup. The GUI will run over an ssh connection. |

| ⚫ | |||
Runlevels are dependent on the distro. Mine is runlevel 2. Traditionally in unix runlevel 3 was GUI but the different distro makers have done this in disparate ways. Ubuntu and Debian don't use runlevels to determine whether or not the GUI is in use. |

I've run it on XFCE and Gnome. It should run on any desktop. No ideas about NAS's. Don't have a linux based one that I can log into. |

Distribution Support
Media Center is built and tested on Debian Buster in both 32 and 64bit flavours.
However Media Center has been shown to run without issue on numerous other distributions including
Details are available in the Linux interact forum.
Dependencies
X
You must have an XServer to run MC. This can be achieved either by running X on on the machine running MC, via a remote ssh connection with X-Forwarding or by having the display exported to the connecting machine.
Desktop Environment
There is no dependency on any particular desktop environment as MC does not use any desktop code nor GTK or KDE.
