The following tutorial will install shoutcast onto your server.

First you need to create the shoutcast user.

# adduser shoutcast

Now we need to set the password for the new account.

# passwd shoutcast

You will then be asked for the password for shoutcast account.

Now we use wget to download the tar.gz containing the shoutcast files.

# wget http://yp.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc1-9-8/sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz

Next untar the downloaded files.

# tar -zxvf sc_serv_1.9.8_Linux.tar.gz

You will now need to configure the shoutcast server which you can by opening the sc_serv.conf file in the nano editor using the following command.

# nano sc_serv.conf

The important settings which you may need to change.

MaxUser
Password
PortBase

Also you will need to uncomment AdminPassword and set an admin password.

Once you have finished modifying the shoutcast config to your liking save the changes and close nano (do this by pressing CTRL + X) and start the shoutcast server.

To start the shoutcast server simply run

# ./sc_serv sc_serv.conf
