Mine is installed as Appimage on Linux Mint Ulyana, Desktop 4.2.3 -
Qt5.12.5 and it works fantastically, including Firefox and
Thunderbird/CardBook, which are set up to call a script as a shim
between them and Linphone.
I use the following bash script, as I cannot figure out a way to make
linphone work directly with sip: or tel: links.
The linphone --cli-help command is not very helpful, in that it does not
show a working example of linphone
<sip-address>?method=<method>([&<argument>=<base64-value>]*)
I tried linphone [email protected]?method=call and it does
not work from terminal, while linphone "call
[email protected]" works with no issues.
I have linphone installed in /usr/local/bin along with this script (its
filename is linphone-tel.sh)
The script converts sip:, tel: and callto: uri links to a linphone "call
sip-address ......" command. Fill free to copy and modify to your
needs... or convert to .bat for windows. :-)
Cheers!

Hi all.
With earlier (3.6.1) version, I was able to pass the phone number/sip
address as first parameter to linphone to initiate a call, so I have
registered a custom protocol handler for 'sip:' links which executed
the command 'linphone -c $1'.
With version 4.1.1 I am unable to find a way to initiate a call on
new/already running instance of Linphone.
Tried looking for a way to send linohonecsh command or use the
linphone-daemon instead but with no avail...
Can anyone point me in the right direction? What I need, is to
initiate a call from shell or by clicking a link on a web page.
Thanks in advance!
