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.
