Download TrueConf for Linux

Choose your OS

Should you encounter any problems with application installation, please contact our technical support team.

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, Astra Linux

How to Install It?

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

sudo apt install ./trueconf_client_name.deb

trueconf_client_name.deb — the downloaded package name

TrueConf repository address is assigned automatically after the application installation.

Alternate installation

Run the following commands in the terminal (console) under the administrator account:

  • Debian 12+

    • Execute the following command to create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.list which already contains all required content:

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

    • Run the following commands consecutively under the administrator account:

      wget -O- https://mirror.trueconf.com/deb.trueconf.asc | sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/trueconf.gpg --import
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/trueconf.gpg
sudo apt -y update
sudo apt -y install trueconf

  • Debian 13+

    • Execute the following command to create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.sources which already contains all required content:

      echo "Types: deb
URIs: https://mirror.trueconf.com/debian
Suites: $(lsb_release -cs)
Components: non-free
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/trueconf.gpg
" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trueconf.sources > /dev/null

    • Run these commands consecutively under the administrator account to install the key:

      wget -O- https://mirror.trueconf.com/deb.trueconf.asc | sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/usr/share/keyrings/trueconf.gpg --import
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/trueconf.gpg

      Attention! If you previously installed TrueConf application from the repository by using the .pub key (or an error occurs during public key verification), you first have to delete the old key by running this command:
