== Installing Ace Stream Engine ==
To run Ace Stream Engine you need to install some dependencies, download a tarball and unpack it in any folder you want. After that engine can be run from that folder with simple shell scriptincluded in the package.
Here is an example how to install Ace Stream 3.1.14 for Ubuntu 14 in the folder /opt/acestream
<nowiki>/opt/acestream/start-engine</nowiki>
Engine have several operational mode modes and you must select one of them when starting. For example, to start client engine on Ubuntu with GTK GUI use this command:
<nowiki>/opt/acestream/start-engine --client-gtk</nowiki>
===Install from repository===
Currently player is available in repositories for these systems:
* Ubuntu 12.04: <nowiki>deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ precise main</nowiki>* Ubuntu 14.04: <nowiki>deb http://repo.acestream.org/ubuntu/ trusty main</nowiki>
To install player from repository follow these steps:
3. Run player:
<nowiki>acestreamplayer</nowiki>
=== Build from sources ===
Please note that you have to get a valid product key to build fully operational player. There are more details about this in the readme.
===Configure engine autorun===
Ace Stream Player tries to connect to the engine and start it if it's not already started.
Player executes this command to start engine:
<nowiki>/usr/bin/acestreamengine --client-gtk</nowiki>
To make this work you need to create <tt>/usr/bin/acestreamengine</tt> shell script which points to the folder where you have installed engine in. For example, if you have installed engine in <tt>/opt/acestream</tt> then the script will be:
<nowiki>#/bin/sh
ROOT=/opt/acestream
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${ROOT}/lib ${ROOT}/acestreamengine --lib-path ${ROOT} $@</nowiki>
