I got tired to run the same commands over and over again when i was testing with wowza. So i made some installers for it. I mainly focus on Ubuntu setups, although i have make new CentOS installers too when i feel like it.

• Create a free account at wowza. After that login and then open this url: https://www.wowza.com/media-server/developers/license
• you will get straight to the trial form. All you have to do is check some boxes and start the request for the developer license

• If you have an enterprise license, you can use that one. Check with Wowza Support if your license is valid for the next version.
