For macOS user, you can install the application using the following command:
brew install --cask jitsi-meet
If you want to hack on this project, here is how you do it.
Install Node.js 20 first (or if you use nvm, switch to Node.js 20 by running nvm use
).
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
X11, PNG, and zlib development packages are necessary. On Debian-like systems, they can be installed as follows:
sudo apt install libx11-dev zlib1g-dev libpng-dev libxtst-dev
Install all required packages:
npm install
npm start
The debugger tools are available when running in dev mode, and can be activated with keyboard shortcuts as defined here.
They can also be displayed automatically with the application --show-dev-tools
command line flag, or with the SHOW_DEV_TOOLS
environment variable as shown:
SHOW_DEV_TOOLS=true npm start
npm run dist
jitsi-meet-electron-sdk
jitsi-meet-electron-sdk
is a helper package which implements many features
such as remote control and the always-on-top window. If new features are to be
added or tested, running with a local version of these utils is very handy.
By default, the @jitsi/electron-sdk is build from npm
. The default dependency path in package.json
is:
"@jitsi/electron-sdk": "^3.0.0"
To work with a local copy, you must change the path to:
"@jitsi/electron-sdk": "file:///Users/name/jitsi-meet-electron-sdk-copy",
To build the project, you must force it to take the sources, as npm update
will
not do it.
npm install @jitsi/electron-sdk --force
NOTE: Also check the jitsi-meet-electron-sdk
README
to see how to configure
your environment.

If you can't execute the file directly after downloading it, try running chmod u+x ./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage
Under wayland, screensharing is currently buggy:
On Ubuntu 22.04 and later, the AppImage will fail with a fuse error (as the AppImage uses libfuse2
, while 22.04 comes with libfuse3
by default):
dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2
To fix this, install libfuse2 as follows:
sudo apt install libfuse2
On Ubuntu 24.04 and later, the AppImage will fail with a sandboxing error (The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly...
)
This is due to AppArmor conflicting by restricting unprivileged user namespaces (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/965,
Ubuntu blog post).
To workaround this, disable the use of the sandbox with --no-sandbox
:
./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox
If you experience a blank page after jitsi server upgrades, try removing the local cache files:
rm -rf ~/.config/Jitsi\ Meet/
