Step 7 - Get the Trunk of Red5 from the Google Code Repository There are various ways of getting subversion and I am not going to cover them in this tutorial, I hope not to your detriment.

If you get a binary version of subversion that doesn't have an installer, make sure to add it to your Environment Variables so that it can be accessed from the command line. We need subversion installed in order to get the latest main working version of the Red5 code. If you see people talking about the Red5 'trunk', it means it is the main working version of the code. Typically whoever is in charge of the project looks over the various code versions, the commits the best version to the 'trunk' or main version of the application. Subversion is a code version tool that allows multiple programmers to work on a project at the same time. If for some reason, the java or ant commands aren't responding properly it probably means that you made an error while configuring the Environment Variables. This means ant is installed properly as well. You should see some dialog like 'build.xml does not exist'. In the command prompt window first type 'java' and you should see a whole bunch of usage parameters get listed. In order to make sure that we have installed the Java JDK and Ant correctly, open a command prompt window by going to start, run, and type cmd. Step 1 - Install The Java Development Kit Just stick with it, and you'll be a proffessional before you know it. I understand that all the acronyms that come along with Java and flashĪre frustrating when trying to learn. Your best bet of getting started with red5 is the flashextensions video tutorials. If you are new to Red5 and new to Flash, its possible you will find this tutorial extremely frustrating as I probably would have a year ago. Over a year ago I started working with Red5 which ultimately caused me to have to learn Flash development as well. Instead grab one of the official releases at: Software Toolsġ. If you just want to test red5, dont follow this tutorial. The intended audience is users that are familiar with Red5 and are interested in developing a custom application. This tutorial was written in November, 2008 and covers one way of setting up the Red5 Flash Media Server in a Windows development environment.
