First, as Greg Wooledge and tomas noted, You can run it using a browser, with some possible functional limitations. Second, contrary to some opinions, I have no major qualms about installing the client software, although initially I examined what installing and operating it in a confined test environment did and, after what I considered a reasonable amount of testing and updating, concluded that it is a well-behaved piece of software on Debian Buster and Bullseye. It has given me no problems. If you elect to install the client: 0. Previous history (referenced by Curt) suggests you may have a 32 bit only machine; Michael Stone probably is on the mark in suggesting this will not work well, if at all. Processor and memory requirements given at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362023-System-requirements-for-Windows-macOS-and-Linux recommend 4GB memory and an i3/i5/i7 or equivalent AMD CPU. These are 64 bit CPUs. The link above hints that you may have a broken install. You might want to remove (most of) it by deleting the /opt/zoom directory. The installation also includes /usr/bin/zoom /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop /usr/share/doc/zoom/changelog.gz /usr/share/mime/packages/zoom.xml /usr/share/pixmaps/Zoom.png /usr/share/pixmaps/application-x-zoom.png They can, I think, be ignored, and removal probably is unnecessary. 1. Download the Debian version (presuming you are using Debian) to /tmp or another directory of your choice. Choose the applicable Debian version, either 7.7 or the default 8.0+. 2. Install with apt, specifying the full path to the .deb file sudo apt /tmp/zoom_16775.0418_amd64.deb This should cause installation of any necessary dependencies. Cindy Causey's report suggests using dpkg is likely bring problems on occasion. Regards, Tom Dial > > Ideas welcome. > > Thx, ... P. > > >
