Download a release from here
Since ampd is distributed as a single jar-file, it doesn't need a traditional installation.
Just copy it wherever you like. /opt/ampd is recommended.
To change any settings download the default and place it alongside the jar-file.
To download it to /opt/ampd/application.properties:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rain0r/ampd/master/src/main/resources/application.properties -O /opt/ampd/application.properties
Then it would look like:
$ cd /opt/ampd
$ ls
ampd.jar application.properties
$ cat application.properties
# General
spring.main.banner-mode=on
spring.messages.encoding=UTF-8
server.address=127.0.0.1
server.port=8003
...
Then edit any setting you like in application.properties
The jar file can be used as a service out-of-the-box. Just create a symlink to /etc/init.d
and you're good to go:
ln -sf /opt/ampd/ampd.jar /etc/init.d/ampd
/etc/init.d/ampd start
If you get the error: start-stop-daemon: unrecognized option '--no-close', remove that
option from the jar-file with: sed -i 's/--no-close//g' /opt/ampd/ampd.jar
Create the file /etc/systemd/system/ampd.service
