1. Download the latest ffplayout from the [release](https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout/releases/latest) page and place the package in the **/tmp** folder
2. Install it with `apt install /tmp/ffplayout_<VERSION>_amd64.deb`
3. Install ffmpeg/ffprobe, or compile and copy them to **/usr/local/bin/**
4. Initialize the defaults and add a global admin user: `sudo -u ffpu ffplayout -i`
5. Use a reverse proxy for SSL; the port is **8787**
6. Log in with your browser. The address without a proxy would be: **http://[IP ADDRESS]:8787**
