Although its components are open source, the BigBlueButton client depends on a [[browser plugin]] for the [[Adobe Flash]] platform. The BigBlueButton server runs on Ubuntu 106.04 64-bit and can be installed either from source code or from Ubuntu packages. BigBlueButton is also downloadable as a Virtual Machine (VM) that runs within [[VMware Player]] on PC and Unix computers and within [[VMWare Fusion]] on Macs.<ref name="bigbluebutton_install_vm">

== Architecture ==
Similar to [[Openmeetings]], BigBlueButton uses [[Red5 (media server)|red5]], an open source implementation of Adobe's Flash Media Server, to support its real-time collaboration.<ref name="osflashorg">It also uses [[redis]], the open-source key-value data store software, to maintain an internal list of its meetings, attendees, and any other relevant information.
