74
- ## Platform-Specific Installation
75
-
76
- ### macOS (Homebrew)
77
-
78
- #### Prerequisites
79
-
80
- - macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later
81
- - Homebrew package manager installed
82
- - At least 500 MB free disk space
83
- - Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) or Intel processor
84
-
85
- If Homebrew is not installed, install it first:
86
-
87
- ```bash
88
- NONINTERACTIVE=1 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
89
- ```
90
-
91
- #### Installation Steps
92
-
93
- Run the following command to install Zoom:
94
-
95
- ```bash
96
- brew install --quiet --cask zoom
97
- ```
98
-
99
- The `--quiet` flag suppresses non-essential output for automation-friendly installation. The `--cask` flag specifies the graphical application version.
100
-
101
- After installation, launch Zoom from the Applications folder or via command line:
102
-
103
- ```bash
104
- open -a "zoom.us"
105
- ```
106
-
107
- **Note**: On first launch, Zoom will prompt you to sign in or join a meeting.
108
-
109
- #### Verification
110
-
111
- Confirm the installation succeeded by checking if the application exists:
112
-
113
- ```bash
114
- ls /Applications/ | grep -i zoom
115
- ```
116
-
117
- Expected output:
118
-
119
- ```
120
- zoom.us.app
121
- ```
122
-
123
- Verify Zoom can launch:
124
-
125
- ```bash
126
- open -a "zoom.us"
127
- ```
128
-
129
- #### Troubleshooting
130
-
131
- **Problem**: `Error: Cask 'zoom' requires macOS >= 10.15`
132
-
133
- **Solution**: Your macOS version is too old. Zoom requires macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later. Upgrade your operating system before installing.
134
-
135
- **Problem**: "zoom.us is damaged and can't be opened" error
136
-
137
- **Solution**: Clear the quarantine attribute:
138
-
139
- ```bash
140
- xattr -cr "/Applications/zoom.us.app"
141
- ```
142
-
143
- **Problem**: Cask already installed
144
-
145
- **Solution**: If you need to reinstall, first uninstall then reinstall:
146
-
147
- ```bash
148
- brew uninstall --cask zoom
149
- brew install --quiet --cask zoom
150
- ```
151
-
152
- **Problem**: Conflict with zoom-for-it-admins cask
153
-
154
- **Solution**: The `zoom` and `zoom-for-it-admins` casks conflict. If you have `zoom-for-it-admins` installed, uninstall it first:
155
-
156
- ```bash
157
- brew uninstall --cask zoom-for-it-admins
158
- brew install --quiet --cask zoom
159
- ```
160
-
161
- ---
162
-
163
- ### Ubuntu/Debian (APT)
164
-
165
- #### Prerequisites
166
-
167
- - Ubuntu 18.04 or later, or Debian 10 (Buster) or later (64-bit x86_64)
168
- - sudo privileges
169
- - At least 500 MB free disk space
170
-
171
- **Important**: Zoom only provides 64-bit x86_64 packages for Debian/Ubuntu. ARM-based systems are not supported with native packages.
172
-
173
- #### Installation Steps
174
-
175
- **Step 1: Download the Zoom .deb package**
176
-
177
- ```bash
178
- wget -q https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb -O /tmp/zoom_amd64.deb
179
- ```
180
-
181
- **Step 2: Install Zoom using apt**
182
-
183
- ```bash
184
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y
185
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y /tmp/zoom_amd64.deb
186
- ```
187
-
188
- The `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive` environment variable prevents any interactive prompts during installation.
189
-
190
- **Step 3: Clean up the downloaded file**
191
-
192
- ```bash
193
- rm /tmp/zoom_amd64.deb
194
- ```
195
-
196
- After installation, launch Zoom:
197
-
198
- ```bash
199
- zoom &
200
- ```
201
-
202
- The ampersand (`&`) runs Zoom in the background, freeing your terminal.
203
-
204
- #### Verification
205
-
206
- Confirm the installation succeeded:
207
-
208
- ```bash
209
- dpkg -l | grep zoom
210
- ```
211
-
212
- Expected output (version may vary):
213
-
214
- ```
215
- ii zoom 6.7.2.72191 amd64 Zoom Cloud Meetings
216
- ```
217
-
218
- Verify Zoom launches correctly:
219
-
220
- ```bash
221
- zoom &
222
- ```
223
-
224
- The Zoom window should appear within a few seconds.
225
-
226
- #### Troubleshooting
227
-
228
- **Problem**: Dependency errors during installation
229
-
230
- **Solution**: Fix broken dependencies and retry:
231
-
232
- ```bash
233
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --fix-broken install -y
234
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y /tmp/zoom_amd64.deb
235
- ```
236
-
237
- **Problem**: Missing library errors when launching Zoom
238
-
239
- **Solution**: Install common dependencies:
240
-
241
- ```bash
242
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y libgl1-mesa-glx libegl1-mesa libxcb-xtest0 libxcb-xinerama0
243
- ```
244
-
245
- **Problem**: Zoom fails to launch with GPU/rendering errors
246
-
247
- **Solution**: Disable GPU acceleration by launching with:
248
-
249
- ```bash
250
- zoom --disable-gpu &
251
- ```
252
-
253
- **Problem**: Screen sharing does not work on Wayland
254
-
255
- **Solution**: Screen sharing has limited support on Wayland. Log out and log back in using an X11 session for full screen sharing functionality, or install PipeWire for Wayland screen sharing support.
256
-
257

258
-
259
- ### Raspberry Pi OS (ARM)
260
-
261
- #### Platform Limitation
262
-
263
- **Zoom does not provide native ARM packages.** The official Zoom desktop application is only available for x86_64 architecture. Raspberry Pi devices use ARM processors, which are not directly supported.
264
-
265
- #### Prerequisites
266
-
267
- - Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit recommended) - Bookworm or Bullseye
268
- - Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with at least 4 GB RAM (recommended for video calls)
269
- - sudo privileges
270
- - Web browser (Chromium recommended)
271
-
272
- #### Installation Steps
273
-
274
- **Use the Zoom Web Application**
275
-
276
- The recommended approach for Raspberry Pi is to use Zoom through the web browser:
277
-
278
- ```bash
279
- # Ensure Chromium is installed
280
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y
281
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y chromium-browser
282
-
283
- # Launch Zoom web application
284
- chromium-browser --app=https://zoom.us/wc &
285
- ```
286
-
287
- The `--app` flag launches Chromium in application mode, providing a cleaner, app-like experience without browser chrome.
288
-
289
- **Create a Desktop Shortcut**
290
-
291
- For easier access, create a desktop shortcut:
292
-
293
- ```bash
294
- mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
295
-
296
- cat > ~/.local/share/applications/zoom-web.desktop << 'EOF'
297
- [Desktop Entry]
298
- Name=Zoom
299
- Comment=Video Conferencing via Web
300
- Exec=chromium-browser --app=https://zoom.us/wc
301
- Icon=web-browser
302
- Terminal=false
303
- Type=Application
304
- Categories=Network;VideoConference;
305
- EOF
306
- ```
307
-
308
- **Alternative: Using Box64 Emulation (Advanced)**
309
-
310
- For users who need the native client features, Box64 can emulate the x86_64 Zoom client on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS. This method is resource-intensive and may have performance issues:
311
-
312
- ```bash
313
- # Install Box64 (requires 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS)
314
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -y
315
- sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y git build-essential cmake
316
-
317

327
- ```
328
-
329
- **Note**: Box64 emulation may have audio issues and reduced video performance. The web application is recommended for most users.
330
-
331
- #### Verification
332
-
333
- For web application approach, verify Chromium can access Zoom:
334
-
335
- ```bash
336
- chromium-browser --app=https://zoom.us/wc &
337
- ```
338
-
339
- The Zoom web client should load and prompt you to join or sign in.
340
-
341
- #### Troubleshooting
342
-
343
- **Problem**: Web application is slow or unresponsive
344
-
345
- **Solution**: Raspberry Pi has limited resources. For better performance:
346
- - Use a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with at least 4 GB RAM
347
- - Close other applications while using Zoom
348
- - Disable video if experiencing lag
349
- - Use the audio-only option for calls
350
-
351
- **Problem**: Cannot receive notifications from web application
352
-
353
- **Solution**: Web notifications require browser permission. When Zoom prompts for notification permission, click "Allow". Ensure your desktop environment supports web notifications.
354
-
355
- **Problem**: Camera or microphone not detected
356
-
357
- **Solution**: Ensure your user is in the video and audio groups:
358
-
359
- ```bash
360
- sudo usermod -aG video,audio $USER
361
- ```
362
-
363
- Log out and log back in for changes to take effect.
364
-
365
- **Problem**: Box64 emulation crashes or has no audio
366
-
367
- **Solution**: Box64 support for Zoom is experimental. Use the web application for a more stable experience.

381
-
382
- #### Installation Steps
383
-
384
- **Step 1: Import the GPG key**
385
-
386
- ```bash
387
- sudo rpm --import https://zoom.us/linux/download/pubkey?version=6-3-10
388
- ```
389
-
390
- **Step 2: Download and install Zoom**
391
-
392
- For Amazon Linux 2023, RHEL 8/9, and Fedora (using dnf):
393
-
394
- ```bash
395
- sudo dnf install -y https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.rpm
396
- ```
397
-
398

-
414
- Confirm the installation succeeded:
415
-
416
- ```bash
417
- rpm -qa | grep zoom
418
- ```
419
-
420
- Expected output (version may vary):
421
-
422
- ```
423
- zoom-6.7.2.72191-1.x86_64
424
- ```
425
-
426
- Verify Zoom can launch (requires graphical environment):
427
-
428
- ```bash
429
- zoom &
430
- ```
431
-
432
- #### Troubleshooting
433
-
434
- **Problem**: GPG key import fails
435
-
436
- **Solution**: Ensure curl is installed and retry:
437
-
438
- ```bash
439
- sudo dnf install -y curl ca-certificates
440
- sudo rpm --import https://zoom.us/linux/download/pubkey?version=6-3-10
441
- ```
442
-
443
- **Problem**: Dependency errors during installation

563
-
564
- ### WSL (Ubuntu)
565
-
566
- #### Platform Approach
567
-
568
- **Zoom is installed on the Windows host, not within WSL.** While WSL with WSLg (GUI support) can technically run Linux GUI applications, the recommended approach is to install Zoom on Windows and access it from WSL.
569
-
570
- #### Prerequisites
571
-
572
- - Windows 10 version 2004 or higher, or Windows 11
573
- - WSL 2 enabled with Ubuntu distribution installed
574
- - Administrator access on Windows for Zoom installation
575
-
576
- #### Installation Steps
577
-
578
- **Step 1: Install Zoom on Windows**
579
-
580
- From a Windows Administrator PowerShell:
581
-
582
- ```powershell
583
- choco install zoom -y
584
- ```
585
-
586
- **Step 2: Access Zoom from WSL**
587
-
588
- From within your WSL terminal, you can launch Windows Zoom:
589
-
590
- ```bash
591
- # Launch Zoom using Windows executable
592
- cmd.exe /c start zoom
593
- ```
594
-
595
- This command uses Windows interoperability to launch the Zoom application installed on the Windows host.
596
-
597
- **Alternative: Access Zoom via browser from WSL**
598
-
599
- If you prefer browser-based access:
600
-
601
- ```bash
602
- # Open Zoom web client in default Windows browser
603
- cmd.exe /c start https://zoom.us/wc
604
- ```
605
-
606
- #### Verification
607
-
608
- From WSL, verify you can launch Windows Zoom:
609
-
610
- ```bash
611
- cmd.exe /c start zoom
612
- ```
613
-
614
- Zoom should open in a new window on the Windows desktop.
615
-
616
- #### Troubleshooting
617
-
618
- **Problem**: Cannot launch Windows Zoom from WSL
619
-
620
- **Solution**: Ensure Zoom is installed on Windows first. Run `choco list zoom` in a Windows PowerShell to verify installation.
621
-
622
- **Problem**: "start: command not found"
623
-
624
- **Solution**: Use the full Windows command syntax:
625
-
626
- ```bash
627
- cmd.exe /c start zoom
628
- ```
629
-
630
- **Problem**: Need to use Zoom commands in WSL scripts
631
-
632
- **Solution**: Create a helper alias in your `~/.bashrc`:
633
-
634
- ```bash
635
- echo 'alias zoom="cmd.exe /c start zoom"' >> ~/.bashrc
636
- source ~/.bashrc
637
- ```
638
-
639
- Then simply run `zoom` from your WSL terminal.

703
- ```
704
-
705
- If not installed, install it from an Administrator PowerShell first.
706
-
707
- **Problem**: Need to use Zoom in scripts
708
-
709
- **Solution**: For scripting, use the Windows command wrapper:
710
-
711
- ```bash
712
- #!/bin/bash
713
- # Launch Zoom silently
714
- cmd //c "start /min zoom" 2>/dev/null
