# Jitsi Meet quick install
|
|
|
|
This documents decribes the needed steps for quick Jitsi Meet installation on a Debian based GNU/Linux system.
|
|
|
|
N.B.: All commands are supposed to be run by root. If you are logged in as a regular user with sudo rights, please prepend ___sudo___ to each of the commands.
|
|
|
|
## Basic Jitsi Meet install
|
|
|
|
### Add the repository
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
add-apt-repository 'deb http://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb unstable/'
|
|
wget -qO - https://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb/unstable/archive.key | apt-key add -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
add-apt-repository is in the default Ubuntu install and is available for both Ubuntu and Debian, but if it's not present, either install it with
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get -y install software-properties-common
|
|
add-apt-repository 'deb http://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb unstable/'
|
|
wget -qO - https://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb/unstable/archive.key | apt-key add -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or add the repository by hand with
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
echo 'deb http://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb trusty unstable/' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
|
|
wget -qO - https://download.jitsi.org/nightly/deb/unstable/archive.key | apt-key add -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Update the package lists
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install Jitsi Meet
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get -y install jitsi-meet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
During the installation you'll be asked to enter the hostname of the Jitsi Meet instance. If you have a FQDN hostname for the instance already set ip in DNS, enter it there. If you don't have a resolvable hostname, you can enter the IP address of the machine (if it is static or doesn't change).
|
|
|
|
This hostname (or IP address) will be used for virtualhost configuration inside the Jitsi Meet and also you and your correspondents will be using it to access the web conferences.
|
|
|
|
### Open a conference
|
|
|
|
Launch a web broswer (Chrome, Chromium or latest Opera) and enter in the URL bar the hostname (or IP address) you used in the previous step.
|
|
|
|
Confirm that you trust the self-signed certificate of the newly installed Jitsi Meet.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!

## Adding sip-gateway to Jitsi Meet
|
|
|
|
### Install Jigasi
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" -y install jigasi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget https://download.jitsi.org/jigasi_1.0-1_amd64.deb
|
|
dpkg -i --force-overwrite jigasi_1.0-1_amd64.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You need to pass "--force-overwrite" option to dpkg, because the jigasi package patches some of the files in the jitsi-meet package in order to enable the SIP support in Jitsi Meet.
|
|
|
|
During the installation you'll be asked to enter your SIP account and password. This account will be used to invite the other SIP participants.
|
|
|
|
### Reload Jitsi Meet
|
|
|
|
Launch again a browser with the Jitsi Meet URL and you'll see a telephone icon on the right end of the toolbar. Use it to invite SIP accounts to join the current conference.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshoot
|
|
|
|
If the SIP gateway doesn't work on first try, restart it.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
/etc/init.d/jigasi restart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Deinstall
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get purge jigasi jitsi-meet jitsi-videobridge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Somethimes the following packages will fail to uninstall properly:
|
|
|
|
- jigasi
|
|
- jitsi-videobridge
|
|
|
|
When this happens, just run the deinstall command a second time and it should be ok.
|
|
|
|
The reason for failure is that not allways the daemons are stopped right away, there is a timeout before the actual stop. And if the unistall script goes on before the services' stop, there is an error.
|
|
|
|
The second run of the deinstall command fixes this, as by then the jigasi or jvb daemons are already stopped.
