#Steps taken to install Big Blue Button in CentOS 6

# we'll work mostly from the /tmp/ directory:
cd /tmp

# install MySQL server
yum install -y mysql-server
service mysqld start
chkconfig mysqld on

# Tomcat6 is not available in the main repos, so we will use the jpackage repos
yum install -y jpackage-utils
wget http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage17.repo
cat jpackage17.repo | sed 's/1\.7/5.0/' | sed 's/\[jpack/\[5jpack/' > /etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage5.repo
mv jpackage17.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
yum makecache

# now you should be able to install tomcat6
yum install -y tomcat6

# start tomcat and configure it to automatically start on boot:
service tomcat6 start
chkconfig tomcat6 on

# install openoffice
wget http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.2.0/OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
tar xzvf OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz
rpm -Uvih OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-US.9483/RPMS/o*.rpm
rm -rf OOo_3.2.0_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE_en-US.tar.gz OOO320_m12_native_packed-1_en-US.9483

# download openoffice server initializing script
wget http://bigbluebutton.org/downloads/0.64/centos-install/bbb-openoffice-headless
mv bbb-openoffice-headless /etc/init.d/

# start the openoffice server
chmod +x /etc/init.d/bbb-openoffice-headless
chkconfig --add bbb-openoffice-headless
chkconfig bbb-openoffice-headless on
service bbb-openoffice-headless start

# for compiling your own packages, you will need some development tools
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ compat-gcc-32 compat-gcc-32-c++

# some more requirements for packages that we will soon install:
yum -y install -y zlib zlib-devel freetype freetype-devel libjpeg libjpeg-devel


# install swftools:
wget http://www.swftools.org/swftools-0.9.0.tar.gz
tar xzf swftools-0.9.0.tar.gz
cd swftools-0.9.0
