If you prefer to jump right in, follow these steps:

  • Debian "red5-server" package doesn't contains /demos or /installer webapps. Please note that /installer and /demos webapps are for demonstration purpose only and should never be installed on a public red5 server (no security at all in those applications).

    Furthermore, they contains non-free stuffs :

    • *.swf binary-only (Flash Player) files
    • *.flv movies trailers like Avatar / Toy Story 3

    As root, you can install /demos (SWF files) and /installer webapp, by issuing : 

    wget http://www.red5.org/downloads/1_0/red5-1.0.0-RC1.zip
tar xvzf red5-*.tar.gz
cd red5-*
cp -R webapps/root/demos /var/lib/red5/webapps/root/demos
cp -R webapps/installer /var/lib/red5/webapps/installer
find /var/lib/red5/webapps/ -type d -exec chown _red5 {} \;
cd ..
rm -rf red5-*
