This is a walkthrough on how to install the MOC command-line music player on OS X. The procedure was tested in Mountain Lion.

MOC on OS X

I waited for years for a Homebrew formula for MOC. I finally found one today, but it didn't work for me. So I decided to try to compile it from source.

Requirements

Here is a list of requirements, taken directly from the MOC README:

Guacamole 0.8.3 Step-by-Step Instructions (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)

Guacamole 0.8.3 Instructions

These instructions were written for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, herein referred to as guac-server.

Install Tomcat Server and Pre-Requisite Packages

Once your Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VM has been installed and the network has been configured, you will need to install the tomcat server and the latest guacamole release. As of this writing, we are using the binary (.war) of Guacamole 0.8.3.

  1. Install the tomcat6 server
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get install tomcat6

NGINX tuning for best performance

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.
