Hi,
I’m developing a command line app that uses libvlc to play some stream on the background for a couple of seconds and then stores info about stability and quality of the stream, since I don’t need any GuI I want to run the app on a Debian headless server, is it possible to install just the lib to run headless?

What are the packages I should install? Just libvlc-bin?

Thanks

It depends which modules your application actually needs.
