BASIC_LIVEPEER_SETUP_ALEX.md

Download livepeer software for your specific machine.

I am running Mac OSX so I downloaded livepeer_darwin.tar.gz (found the download link at LivePeer Releases

Afterwards I unpacked the tar file and ran these two commands. Each in it's own terminal window.

1. ./livepeer -rinkeby -v 6 This helps launch the local network

2. ./livepeer_cli This allows us to interface with the network in a very dev/user friendly manner.

I had to install and go through the configuration setup of OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)

That was found at OBS INSTALL

Finally once basic settings were configured by following the instructions listed at LIVEPEER INSTALL WIKI

I was able to get both a Live stream and Text output running on a LivePeer channel via My Channel

Luckily I had some test ether and I'm no stranger to getting Test ether from a faucet.

Once the OBS software is configured getting different kind of expements up and running are much more intuitive than one would initially assume.

All that said, this is amazing stuff.
