WARNING: The steps below outline using an automated script to update the Wowza Streaming Engine. It is designed to be used on standard Valt appliances. If the appliance has been customized by the customer, you may encounter issues with the update script.


Ordinarily the Wowza Streaming Engine is automatically updated as part of the Valt update, however there are specific situations, such as updating a media server, where only the Wowza Streaming Engine needs to be upgraded.


  1. Log into the Valt appliance via SSH or the terminal
  2. Type wget --content-disposition https://ivs.box.com/shared/static/5g69ohxvb9y3ofvqa0nvxohrl3b5bjcd.gz -O WowzaUpgrade.tar.gz and press enter.
