Firstly, extract the archive somewhere within your Apache document root. This directory can be named whatever you like, and is independent of your actual file repository.

      cd /var/www/html/
      tar zfvx /path/to/mediaIndexer-X.X.tar.gz
      mv mediaIndexer-X-X mediaIndexer
      

Some media handlers requires the use of external utilities to perform their function. See the System Requirements section for a list of these requirements.

This is all there is to it, now on to configuration.
