Installing

This installation option applies to Red Hat Linux, including Fedora.

    * First, install Java: sudo yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
    * Download the Subsonic .rpm installation package and install it: sudo yum install --nogpgcheck subsonic-x.x.rpm

Notice that the installer configures your system to start Subsonic automatically when booting.
After installing, open the Subsonic web page on http://localhost:4040.

Transcoders

To make use of Subsonic's powerful transcoding feature, it's highly recommended to install
some third-party transcoders, available from RPM Fusion:

    * If necessary, configure yum to use the RPM Fusion repository.
    * From the command line: sudo yum install lame flac faad2 vorbis-tools ffmpeg

Advanced configuration

To change the port number, Java memory settings or other startup parameters,
edit the SUBSONIC_ARGS variable in /etc/sysconfig/subsonic.
To restart Subsonic, do sudo service subsonic restart

Troubleshooting

Check the logs in /var/subsonic.
