Ubuntu Command Line Install Help (for Noobs)

[NIS1169 0]

Hi all!  I'm new to emby and am really looking forward to installing and learning it.

 

I am not a complete linux noob, but am still learning and as such am a little confused on how to install emby on my x64 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS headless server.

 

Everywhere I read, it says to follow the instructions on the download page: https://emby.media/linux-server.html

 

But, I don't see any instructions for installing via command line on an x64 headless ubuntu server. 

 

 

 

All I see are a link to download the .deb file for an x64 system and a link for installation instructions on an ARM system.

 

So, I guess my question is, how do I install emby from a command line on an x64 system?

 

I'm so sorry if my question seems so basic - I've searched the forums and online, but can't find an "official" answer from the developers.

 

Thanks for your help!!

you need to cd to a directory where you want to download the file, then:

wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.60.0/emby-server-deb_3.2.60.0_amd64.deb

then command line the rest based on the setup instructions out there

Just so I understand, from command line, I'll run:

$ wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.60.0/emby-server-deb_3.2.60.0_amd64.deb
$ dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.2.60.0_amd64.deb

And this will install emby.

 

A couple of questions if you don't mind, so I understand what is happening.

 

Will this install the repository for emby and do I have to worry about any repository keys?

 

Will I be able to run 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' to get updates?

 

I'm still learning linux and what I've learned for installing programs usually involves adding a repository and sometimes a key for the repository, kind of like the instructions for installing on an ARM system.

 

One more question for learning purposes, if you don't mind, what is the difference from your instructions and those for installing on an ARM system?

 

Thanks again for your help and your explanation.
