Prerequisites - Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Prerequisites

Before you set up the Java producer SDK, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • In the sample code, you provide credentials by specifying a profile that you set up in your Amazon credentials profile file. If you haven't already done so, first set up your credentials profile. For more information, see Set up Amazon Credentials and Region for Development in the Amazon SDK for Java.

    Note

    The Java example uses a SystemPropertiesCredentialsProvider object to obtain your credentials. The provider retrieves these credentials from the aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretKey Java system properties. You set these system properties in your Java development environment. For information about how to set Java system properties, see the documentation for your particular integrated development environment (IDE).

  • Your NativeLibraryPath must contain your KinesisVideoProducerJNI file, available at https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-cpp. The file name extension for this file depends on your operating system:

    • KinesisVideoProducerJNI.so for Linux

    • KinesisVideoProducerJNI.dylib for macOS

    • KinesisVideoProducerJNI.dll for Windows

    Note

    Pre-built libraries for macOS, Ubuntu, Windows, and Raspbian are available in src/main/resources/lib at https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-producer-sdk-java.git. For other environments, compile the C++.
