Hello,

I am trying to install the WowzaMediaServer-2.1.2.tar.gz on my Centos 5.5 64bit server.

I have unzipped the file using the command

```auto
tar -xzvf /usr/local/WowzaMediaServer-2.1.2.tar.gz
./configure
        make
        su
        make install

```

However, during ./configure it tells me there is no such directory.

Can some one tell me how can I install from this tar.gz file on a Centos?

Thank you

Wowza does not include source code. The tar.bin package is an installer. To install you download the package and run:

chmod +x WowzaMediaServer-2.1.2.tar.bin

./WowzaMediaServer-2.1.2.tar.bin

Hello Charlie,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was trying to find the tar.bin package for version 2.1.2 because I have that version installed on all my other edge and origin servers. In my other thread Richard told me for http streaming to work all servers should have the same version [Post](https://www.wowza.com/forums/showthread.php?11295-Load-Balancer-new-edge-server-is-saying-quot-Stream-is-offline-quot&p=55893#post55893). PLease let me know if you know a location that I can find the WowzaMediaServer-2.1.2.tar.bin

Thank you very much

They have the ./WowzaMediaServer-2.2.0.tar.bin but I am looking for ./WowzaMediaServer-2.1.2.tar.bin because all other servers that I have in the network is this version.
