# Install
You can directly use the release binaries, or build SRS step by step. See: [Github: release](http://ossrs.net/srs.release/releases/) or [Mirror of China: release](http://www.ossrs.net/srs.release/releases/)
## OS
* Ubuntu20 is recommended.
* Use [srs-docker](https://github.com/ossrs/dev-docker/tree/dev) to build SRS.
* Use [srs-docker](https://github.com/ossrs/dev-docker) to run SRS.
## Iptables and Selinux
Sometimes the stream play failed, but without any error message, or server cann't connect to. Please check the iptables and selinux.
Turn off iptables:
```bash
# disable the firewall
sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop
sudo /sbin/chkconfig iptables off
```
Disable the selinux, to run `getenforce` to ensure the result is `Disabled`:
1. Edit the config of selinux: `sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux`
1. Change the SELINUX to disabled: `SELINUX=disabled`
1. Rebot: `sudo init 6`
## Build and Run SRS
It's very easy to build SRS:
```
./configure && make
```
Also easy to start SRS:
```bash
./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf
```
