Installers for Windows and Mac OS X and tarballs for Linux can be found at:

To install UMS from the tarball on Linux, open a terminal and enter the
following commands (set VERSION to the version you're installing):
Note: These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 16.04, but something similar
should work on most Unix distributions)

1. Install the dependencies (this only needs to be done once):
    
    All releases of UMS come with Java Runtime Environment bundled, except for
    the ARM architecture releases. You will need to ensure you have JRE 8 installed.

    Next, add some other pre-reqs:

        sudo apt-get install mediainfo dcraw vlc-nox mplayer mencoder
      
  you can also optionally install dcraw and VLC: `sudo apt-get install dcraw vlc`

2. Download the tarball e.g.:

    Get the direct link from https://www.universalmediaserver.com

    Your operating system and architecture should be automatically detected so
    that you get the correct download. If for some reason you get the wrong file,
    you can manually select a file by clicking the big arrow to the right of the
    download buttons.

3. Extract the tarball into a ums-$VERSION directory:

        tar xzvf ums-$VERSION.tgz

4. Run (note: UMS should NOT be run as root):

        cd ums-$VERSION
        ./UMS.sh

UMS accesses some files in the `ums-$VERSION/` directory (the working directory).
Other files will be looked for in `~/.config/UMS`
