I want to share with you my installation process for Media Browser 3 (MB3) on Archlinux. Backgroud: My Archlinux is the latest version (2014.09.03), x86-64 My headless server (without screen) is a virtual machine (I actually have a headless server, but my test is in the virtual machine) Steps: You need to have Archlinux installed. Download the wget utility, this is for downloading files from internet pacman -Sy wget Install the base-devel package with pacman, it is necessary for build the package later. pacman -Sy base-devel Go to a directory to build the package, in my example I use my root folder, and I create an AUR subfolder cd /root mkdir aur cd aur Now get the tarball of the MB3 (Thanks to DaBungalow for make MB3 available on AUR) (official link: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/me/mediabrowser-server/mediabrowser-server.tar.gz) wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/me/mediabrowser-server/mediabrowser-server.tar.gz Untar the package recently downloaded: tar -xvf mediabrowser-server.tar.gz Now, enter to the new uncompressed folder: cd mediabrowser-server Now, build the package, the -s option is for automatic resolve the dependencies, the -asroot is for executing as root: makepkg -s --asroot After a while, you have a new file with .xy extension, install this file with pacman -U pacman -U your-new-file.pkg.tar.xz If pacman ask you for install some extra packages, install it! after the installation, go to directory whete MB3 was installed cd /opt/mediabrowser-server/ Now, run the MB3 with mono: mono MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe You are ready, connect to your server-ip:8096/mediabrowser/ Sorry for my englis, I hope this help you.
