# Media Server Installation

## Install Kurento Media server
Each instance of OpenMeetings requires a running Kurento Media Server (KMS). There is a complete list of installation modes here:
<a href="https://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/installation.html">Install Kurento Media server</a>

The default config of OpenMeetings and Kurento Media Server is a 1:1 mapping. Each OpenMeetings instance is mapped exactly to 1 KMS instance as well as OpenMeetings and KMS running on the same host.

<div class="om-callout border-danger">
	If running on the same host OpenMeetings and KMS should be run under same user.
</div>


The quickest and easiest way to run KMS is via Docker. But running the following commands you can run KMS locally.
```
// for example /home/$user/work/openmeetings
export OM_HOME=$YOUR_PATH
// for example export OM_HOME=/Users/wagns1/Documents/apache/openmeetings/_REPO/openmeetings/openmeetings-web/target/openmeetings-web-5.0.0-M5-SNAPSHOT

docker run -v $OM_HOME/data:$OM_HOME/data -p 8888:8888 kurento/kurento-media-server
```
Assuming OpenMeetings runs on your machine locally above will work without any config changes in OpenMeetings and is the most common way to spin up a development environment.

## Specify/Install Turn server

<div class="om-callout border-warning">Only local installation will work without TURN server - also you require a valid SSL certificate for doing webRTC Audio/Video for anything other then local installations</div>

See the installation instructions at <a href="https://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/installation.html">Install Kurento Media server</a> for the relevant section on CoTurn.

Once installed update the CoTurn relevant sections in the OpenMeetings configuration:
```
