EdgeRouter 4 Install msd_lite / msd

msd_lite

http://www.netlab.linkpc.net/wiki/en:software:msd:lite

Deprecated, but recommended!!! You can also use Multi Stream daemon (msd)

Steps:

1 Clone code on computer, because my ER-4 reports dpkg errors, due to the outdated debian stretch. Then upload to ER-4

git clone --recursive https://github.com/rozhuk-im/msd_lite.git
tar zcvf msd_lite.tar.gz msd_lite
scp msd_lite.tar.gz ubnt@192.168.1.1:/tmp/

2 On ER-4, install build-essential, cmake

For build-essential, read EdgeRouter 4 Build & Install udpxy

# apt install cmake
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cmake : Depends: cmake-data (= 3.7.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libarchive13 (>= 3.0.4) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libjsoncpp1 (>= 1.7.4) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libuv1 (>= 1.4.2) but it is not going to be installed
 dpkg-dev : Depends: xz-utils but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).



# apt install cmake cmake-data  libarchive13 libjsoncpp1 libuv1 

3 build on ER-4

tar xvf /tmp/msd_lite.tar.gz
cd msd_lite
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make 
make install

4 configure and run

/etc/msd_lite.conf

I only modified the multicast -> ifName to br0.

RUN

msd_lite -c /etc/msd_lite.conf -v

msd

Same as msd_lite, but powerful.
