Install nvm https://github.com/creationix/nvm (you will have to logout and login to refresh your environment settings after installation)

Install node
Code:
nvm install --lts=Boron
Install ffmpeg (usually you have to download ffmpeg and copy to somewhere like /usr/bin

Install git if required

Then

Then open in your browser http://<ip of your linux machine>:9080

My needs are more modest... I'm looking for a simple Linux-compatible program that can capture an individual MFC stream while the FF browser window is open. There were a few mentions in the MFC thread of basic browser video capture software, but the ones I checked don't run in Linux.

Since I'm new to Linux, my skills in command line installation is pretty limited. A Firefox add-on would be ideal, but I'm willing to learn how to use the command line, if necessary. I have to learn sooner or later anyway
