Plex Media Server—installation detailsRussell Bateman |
For your pleasure and in case you have any questions, here's how the installation went the last time I configured a new server. The first command is subsequent to having downloaded Plex onto my Linux Mint host, then scp'd it over to my new server dropping it on the path /home/russ/Downloads, then sshing in and getting root.
