Installation under Centos 7

Has anyone succeeded in installing bisq under Centos 7? What is the preferable path? converting the .deb file to an rpm using alien/rpmrebuild or compiling from source?

So far my failure looks like this

$ alien --to-rpm --scripts --keep-version Bisq-64bit-0.6.7.deb

$ rpmrebuild -pe bisq-0.6.7-1.x86_64.rpm

$ rpm -Uvh bisq-0.6.7-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

libavcodec.so.56, libavformat.so.56 are installed already in /lib64. The -ffmpeg libraries I don’t have and “yum provides” does not find. The fact that it is demanding multiple versions of the same libraries suggests something else is amiss.

There were some discussions about this before, but I think no one reported on this forum that they solved the issue,

Here is one topic about it

Thanks for that information. Fixing the rpm is beyond my skill so I will instead attempt to install in a KVM Debian guest. What is the recommended minimum memory and disk for running Bisq under Debian?

I am not sure. My Bisq data directory takes less than 300 MB of disk space and about 500 MB of RAM currently.
