Libnice

Libnice can be installed using apt, however, the version required by GstWebRTCbin is 0.1.15, so we need to install it manually:

git clone https://github.com/libnice/libnice.git
cd libnice
git checkout 0.1.15
./autogen.sh --prefix /usr/ --libdir /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ ; make -j$(nproc) ; sudo make install ; cd ..

Meson

Download meson via pip installer:

sudo apt install python3-pip ninja-build
pip3 install --user meson
#After installation you may need to export meson to the PATH variable
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" #Add this to the .bashrc file for permanent setup

GStreamer Wrapper Bin
