ViMP Installation Service

Let us take care of the complete installation process of your ViMP platform.
 

ViMP installation service includes the following:

• Preparation of your server
• Installation of the purchased ViMP software
• Installation of required transcoding tools

In order to install ViMP remotely on your server, we need the following:

• SSH access to your server (preferably root)
• Pre-installed hosting (Apache + MySQL/MariaDB)

We recommend Linux as OS. An installation under UNIX, BSD or Windows is possible, but not officially supported.

Minimum server requirements to install ViMP:

Webserver

• Apache2
  • Version 2.4 recommended
• or NGINX

PHP

• Version 7.0 - 8.0
• GD library, openssl, cURL, MySQL, mbstring, PDO, pdo_mysql and XSL extensions must be installed
• PHP CLI (Command Line Interface) must be installed
• SourceGuardian Extension (except for ViMP Ultimate Extended)

MySQL/MariaDB

• MySQL: Version 5.0 - 8.0
• MariaDB: At least version 10.0
• InnoDB must be installed

Transcoding
The transcoding tools should be installed exactly as described in the documentation. Due to patent protections it's not sufficient to install the default packages.

• FFmpeg
• FFProbe
• exiftool (>10.8)
• time

CSS customizations
In order to concatenate modified CSS files, npm must be installed.

Hardware

As a minimum requirement we recommend:

• Quad Core processor
• 8 GB RAM
• 500 GB hard disc space (the actual capacity needed depends on the number of media)

For productive use we recommend

• Hexa-Core processor or better (more cores allow especially a faster transcoding of media)
• 32 GB RAM or more
• 2000 GB hard disk space or more (the size required depends mainly on the number of media)

For additional data security, we recommend using a RAID controller.
