Graphical Installation

For installing TrueConf, we recommend using the graphical installer. The graphical installer can be invoked by (double) clicking the downloaded package. Depending on your distribution you will get different possibilities to install the package, e.g. Open with Ubuntu Software Center.

To install the application from the terminal, run the commands with sudo, or first switch to administrator mode by executing the su - command in the terminal and entering the root password. Please note that sudo may not be available in the OS by default. You can check its availability with the sudo -V command. The examples shown below include sudo.

Debian, Ubuntu, Mint

How to Install It?

You will need to run a command using the administrator account to launch the downloaded package:

TrueConf repository address is assigned automatically after the application installation.

Alternate installation

• Switch to the administrator account and create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.list by running the command in the terminal (the file with required contents will be created immediately):

  For Debian

  echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://mirror.trueconf.ru/debian $(lsb_release -cs) non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.list > /dev/null

  1	echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://mirror.trueconf.ru/debian $(lsb_release -cs) non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.list > /dev/null

  For Ubuntu

  echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://mirror.trueconf.ru/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.list > /dev/null

  1	echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://mirror.trueconf.ru/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.list > /dev/null

  For Mint

  echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://mirror.trueconf.ru/linuxmint $(lsb_release -cs) non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.list > /dev/null
