+## Why
+
+We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enought money to pay bandwith and video storage of its server.
+
+So we need to have a decentralized network (as [Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) for example).
+But it's not enought because one video could become famous and overload the server.
+It's the reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load.
+Thanks to [webtorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus bittorrent) inside the web browser right now.

-## Front compatibility
- * Chromium
- * Firefox (>= 42 for MediaSource support)
+## Usage
+### Front compatibility
-## Usage
+ * Chromium
+ * Firefox (>= 42 for MediaSource support)
### Dependencies
- * NodeJS >= 0.12
- * Grunt-cli (npm install -g grunt-cli)
+ * **NodeJS >= 4.2**
* OpenSSL (cli)
* MongoDB
- * xvfb-run (for electron)
+ * xvfb-run libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 libnotify-bin (for electron)
+
+#### Debian
+
+Install NodeJS 4.2: [https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions)
+
+ # apt-get install mongodb openssl xvfb curl sudo git build-essential libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 libnotify-bin
+ # npm install -g electron-prebuilt
+
### Test It!
$ git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
- $ cd PeopleTube
+ $ cd PeerTube
# npm install -g electron-prebuilt
$ npm install
+ $ npm run build
$ npm start
-### Test with many 3 fresh nodes
- $ scripts/clean_test.sh
- $ scripts/run_servers.sh
+### Test with 3 fresh nodes
-Then you will can access to the three nodes at http://localhost:900{1,2,3}. If you call "make friends" on http://localhost:9002, the pod 2 and 3 will become friends. Then if you call "make friends" on http://localhost:9001 it will become friend with the pod 2 and 3 (check the configuration files). Then the pod will communicate with each others. If you add a video on the pod 3 you'll can see it on the pod 1 and 2 :)

+### Dockerfile
+
+You can test it inside Docker with the [PeerTube-Docker repository](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube-Docker). Moreover it can help you to check how to create an environment with the required dependencies for PeerTube on a GNU/Linux distribution.
## Architecture
+See [ARCHITECTURE.md](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/ARCHITECTURE.md) for a more detailed explication.
+
### Backend
* The backend whould be a REST API
### Frontend
There would be a simple frontend (Bootstrap, AngularJS) but since the backend is a REST API anybody could build a frontend (Web application, desktop application...).
-The backend uses bittorent protocol, so users could use their favorite bittorent client to download/play the video after having its torrent URI.
