推荐参考： HelixServer for Linux配置
2 安装配置
2.1 安装前准备
2.1.1 选择部署方式
Helix Server可以单独部署在一台服务器上，也可以作为集群环境部署到多台服务器上。本次仅简单部署到一台机器上。
2.1.2 下载Helix Server软件包下载地址：。
2.1.3 准备Helix Server License文件对于Helix Server试用版，在Helix官方网站上输入个人信息以及Email地址之后，Helix将会发送一个邮件到你输入的Email地址中，上面会有License下载地址，下载下来即可。
将下载下来的mbrs-150-GA-linux-rhel6-64.zip进行解压缩，以root用户登录Linux系统，使用如下命令解压缩安装文件：
unzip mbrs-150-GA-linux-rhel6-64.zip –d .
解压之后产生如下文件：servinst_mobile_linux-rhel6-x86_64.bin。
2.2.2 执行安装程序直接执行解压出来的文件就可以进行安装了：./servinst_mobile_linux-rhel6-x86_64.bin（如果提示没有权限执行的话，为其加上可执行权限：chmod +x servinst_mobile_linux-rhel6-x86_64.bin）。接下来就将是Helix Server的文本安装界面了，下面将会按照提示进行一步步的操作：
1) 首先，安装程序会开始解压缩文件，解压完成之后进入欢迎界面，按下回车开始进行安装：
[root@yuanhuan install_softwares]# ./servinst_mobile_linux-rhel6-x86_64.bin

2) 接下来会提示输入License文件的路径，将下载来的License文件的绝对路径输入即可：

License Key File: []: /root/install_softwares/RNKey-Helix_Universal_Server_10-Stream-nullnull-6945361418389727.lic
3) License文件验证通过之后，就会出现很长的License阅读，按空格进行翻页，在License的最后会出现是否打印的选项，此处不打印即可。接着会出现是否接受License的选项，默认是接受的，直接回车即可：
Installation and use of Helix Universal Media Server requires

4) 接下来输入安装目录，默认是当前目录，自定义为自己的安装目录即可：
Enter the complete path to the directory where you want
Helix Universal Media Server to be installed. You must specify the full
pathname of the directory and have write privileges to
the chosen directory.
Directory: [/root/install_softwares]: /opt/helix
5) 接下来输入管理员的用户名和密码，此处自定义即可：
Please enter a username and password that you will use
to access the web-based Helix Universal Media Server Administrator and
monitor.
Username []: admin
Password []:
Confirm Password []:
6) 接下来是生成SSL证书的配置，以前用过openssl创建过SSL证书的话此步骤应该并不陌生，如果之前没用过，就按照提示一步步输入证书信息即可。特别需要注意的是其中的Common Name一项，需要设置为使用该证书的域名或者IP，其他项根据实际设置即可。
Please enter SSL/TLS configuration information.
Country Name (2 letter code) [US]: CN
State or Province Name (full name) [My State]: Guangdong
Locality Name (e.g., city) [My Locality]: Shenzhen

Common Name (e.g., hostname) [My Name]: 10.120.112.35
Email Address [myname@mailhost]: admin@tcl.com
Certificate Request Optional Name []:
7) 下面将会设置端口号，Helix关于每种服务都是用默认的端口号的，如果想直接使用默认端口号，直接回车跳过即可。如果安装部署的时候有端口号规划或者端口号冲突，此处就可以输入y进行自定义。并且安装成功之后这些端口号也还是可以修改的。
Configure Ports (y/n): [no]:
8) 至此，Helix的配置已经基本完成，下面将会对之前的配置信息做一下摘要，确认无误之后就可以回车进行安装了。如果发现配置有问题，可以输入P进行修改。
