Installing in Gentoo

Download module source code

You have many options:

• Get the zip at https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module/archive/master.zip
• Or much better, do a git clone (see options in top of https://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module)
• Or get an ebuild from fem-overlay. And set the USE flag "nginx_modules_rtmp" or "nginx_modules_rtmp_hls".

Emerge nginx with nginx-rtmp-module

NGINX_ADD_MODULES="/path/to/nginx-rtmp-module" emerge -va nginx

Replace /path/to/ with the actual module's source path. You can add with this method any number of custom modules.

To make this change permanent see: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Overriding_environment_variables_per_package

Configure nginx

Don't forget to include a rtmp section inside your nginx configuration file located at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf.
