installing liquidsoap

Howdy. I've just joined a group of broadcasters using Centova Tech...with Shoutcast...

...but their whole setup has been a mess; no coherent technical admins. I'm striving to make sense of all that's going on and make some improvements.

The main thing I'm trying to sort through right now is killing crossfade, but they never setup liquidsoap or any of the other features that would give this kind of control.

I've found this instruction, but don't know where to implement it:

If anyone here can provide some guidance I would appreciate it! Cheers!

You'd need to have SSH access with root privileges on the server where Centova Cast is installed on, and then just run this command:
/usr/local/centovacast/sbin/update --add liquidsoap

Thanks for the reply. Not really sure how to access that, or if I'm in possession of the proper credentials at this point or not; I've started a clone inquiry in the centova tech forum...waiting for a response there...

I'm coming into this whole setup cold, and the people who set it up originally are almost completely hands off now, so not people I can turn to for assistance in sorting it all out. Most of the folks there are not technically oriented. I just got us listed as "public" vs "private" so we're visible in Shoutcast, now...and got our TunIn presence restored...so I'm effectively our lead tech support at this point...and I've only been part of the crew for about 3 weeks.
