Installing Jitsi desktop client on Ubuntu or Debian

Wed, May 22, 2019

Don’t follow the initial repository instructions on https://jitsi.org/downloads/ - installing from the repository doesn’t seem to work for the “Jitsi Meet” desktop client, and the other seems to be for the server-side functionality.

Instead follow May First’s instructions:

If getting the AppImage for Debian or Ubuntu, be sure to edit permissions and make the file executable. Then you can just double-click it.
