Galicaster is based on Open Source technologies.

The recommended OS for this release is Ubuntu 10.10
The installation process consists of five steps: installing dependencies, checking configuration, downloading software, configuring and running.

h6. 1.\- Install dependencies.

Galicaster requires the following software to be installed:

* Gstreamer
* python-setuptools and pip
* iCalendar
* pyCurl
* Capture card configuration tools

{code:none}
$ sudo apt-get install \
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps gstreamer0.10-plugins-good \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-setuptools
$ sudo pip install icalendar
$ sudo apt-get install python-pycurl
$ sudo apt-get install v4l-conf ivtv-utils guvcview
{code}

In ubuntu 11.04 and above, installing v4l-utils is recommended instead of ivtv-utils.

h6. 2.\- Check configuration.

Run the following commands in a shell in order to verify that all dependencies are installed:

{code:none}
$ python --version
Python 2.6.6

$ python -c "import pygtk; pygtk.require('2.0')"
$ python -c "import pygst; pygst.require('0.10')"
$ python -c "import pycurl"
$ python -c "import icalendar"

$ gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc num-buffers=25 ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=800,height=600,framerate=24/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink
$ gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc num-buffers=25 ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=800,height=600,framerate=24/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! x264enc pass=5 quantizer=22 speed-preset=4 profile=1 ! queue ! avimux ! filesink location=out.avi
$ file out.avi
out.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 800 x 600, ~24 fps, video: H.264 X.264 or H.264
