h3. Install Galicaster:

* Download the [package|http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/galicaster-1.2.0.tgz].
* Unpackage it and place the folder in an area where you have permissions to run applications. Change the folder name if you want to.
* Place the [conf.ini example|http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/configs_1.2.x/conf.ini] on the designated folder.
* Download the profiles you may want to try and copy then on _profiles/_. Modify the values to adapt them to your scenario.
** [VGA capturing | http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/configs_1.2.x/profiles/vga.ini]
** [VGA and Sound capturing | http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/configs_1.2.x/profiles/vga_sound.ini]
** [Webcam and sound|http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/configs_1.2.x/profiles/webcam_sound.ini]
*** The device is set on /dev/video0, where webcams are usually found, change it if necessary
** [Hauppauge ( PAL / NTSC ) and VGA | http://webfiler.teltek.es/webfiler/galicaster/configs_1.2.x/profiles/hau_vga.ini]
*** Sound synced and recorded via Hauppauge
** Blackmagic (with sound incorporated)

* Run Galicaster with _./run_galicaster.py_. It will start with mock devices (bars, static and noise).


h4. Migrate Repository from 1.1.x to 1.2.x

Mediapackages are compatible with both versions but we have included new information concerning the status of the operations. Then, only one file will be modified, the others will remain unaltered.

To do so:
* The script is {{docs/scripts/migrate_repository.py}}
* Move it to your Galicaster 1.2 directory,
* Configure Galicaster to point to the repository you want to migrate. {{basic>repository=/home/folder/example}}
* _Optional:_ Make a backup
* Run it on a terminal: {code:none}python migrate_repository.py{code}

h4. Create a launcher on the Desktop and on Unity

* Copy _docs/autostart/galicaster.svg_ to _/usr/share/icons_.
* Copy _docs/autostart/galicaster.destktop_ to _usr/share/applications_.
* Pulse Meta(Win key), type Galicaster and drag the GC icon to the desktop.
** If the GC logo doesn't show, right-button on the file, go to Properties, choose the tab Permissions and check Allow executing file as a program.
* Resize it by clicking right-button on the launcher, go to Resize Icon... .

To make galicaster start as the operative system loads do the following:

* Copy _docs/autostart/galicaster.desktop_ to _~/.config/autostart_.


h4. Configure the server and the ingest behaviour

Depending on when or how you want to ingest the mediapackages set none/immediately/nightly on manual and scheduled.
