Jami is a free, open-source, and secure peer-to-peer communication tool that allows users to make audio and video calls, chat, and share files. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Jami on Debian Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you will need:
Before installing Jami, you need to ensure that your system has all the required dependencies installed. You can install the dependencies by running the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dirmngr gnupg dbus g++ make qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimedia5 libqt5multimediawidgets5 libpulse-dev libsystemd-dev libreadline-dev pkg-config libopus-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
Next, you need to add the Jami GPG key to your system by running the following command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 5BC5A5C2CD380ED0
After adding the Jami GPG key, you need to add the Jami repository to your system's sources.list file. You can add the repository by running the following command:
echo "deb https://dl.jami.net/nightly/debian_10/ ring main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jami.list
Once you have added the Jami repository, update the package list and install Jami by running the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y jami
After installing Jami, you can launch it from the terminal by running the following command:
jami-gnome
Alternatively, you can search for Jami in your application launcher and launch it from there.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to install Jami on Debian Latest. Now you can use Jami to make audio and video calls, chat, and share files with your friends and family securely.
