The Repository Structure
The Kaltura Server core is written in PHP and is cross-platform, meaning, it runs on windows, linux 32/64 and mac osx.
However, the Kaltura Server also depend on various binaries to perform jobs such as conversion and image manipulation (ffmpeg, mencoder, imagemagick, etc.).
In order to focus on Kaltura related development the repository contains compiled versions of these external libraries.
The KalturaCE repository is divided in to two main trees:
- kalturaCE - The core server application.
- kalturaCEBinaries - The compiled dependency binaries.
The kalturaCEBinaries tree is divided according to the operating systems being supported:
- linux64 - Binaries compiled to run under Linux 64 bit distributions.
- linux386 - Binaries compiled to run under Linux 32 bit distributions.
- osx386 - Binaries compiled to run under Mac OSX 32 bit.
- win32 - Binaries compiled to run under Windows (XP, Vista, Server) 32 bit.
