# Dependencies

## Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives
  1. On a fresh Debian/Ubuntu, as root user, install basic utility programs needed for the installation

```
# apt-get install curl sudo unzip vim
```

  2. It would be wise to disable root access and to continue this tutorial with a user with sudoers group access

  3. Install certbot (choose instructions for nginx and your distribution) :
     [https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions](https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions)
  4. Install NodeJS 8.x (current LTS):

  5. Install yarn:
     [https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#linux-tab](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install#linux-tab)
  6. Run:

```
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nginx ffmpeg postgresql openssl g++ make redis-server git
$ ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 3.x

```

If you still have a 2.x version of FFmpeg on Ubuntu:
