Here, we are going to install it with the following command.<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk<\/pre>\n<p>To verify the java version, run the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ java -version<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Output<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"74\" class=\"wp-image-12342\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/word-image-461.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/word-image-461.png 723w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/word-image-461-300x31.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now to store all streama files, you have to create a folder. Here, we are creating a folder as follows.<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo mkdir streama<\/pre>\n<p>You can choose your preferred directory in such a case.<\/p>\n<p>Now, go to that directory and download the latest streama version by using wget command as follows:<\/p>\n<pre>$ cd streama\/<\/pre>\n<pre>$ sudo wget https:\/\/github.com\/streamaserver\/streama\/releases\/download\/v1.6.1\/streama-1.6.1.war<\/pre>\n<p>After downloading the latest streama file, make it executable with the following command.<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo chmod +x streama-1.6.1.war<\/pre>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start the streama server with the following command.<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo .\/streama-1.6.1.war<\/pre>\n<p>Now, it will take some time.
