Installation

zoom-mgr is a Bash script that can be run from anywhere in your home directory. Here's a typical install:

cd ~
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felicianotech/zoom-mgr/trunk/zoom-mgr.sh
chmod +x ~/zoom-mgr.sh

Usage

~/zoom-mgr.sh install

Installs the Zoom Linux Client on your machine.

~/zoom-mgr.sh update

If a newer version of Zoom or Zoom Manager is available, download and install it.

Updating Zoom Manager

Zoom Manager v0.5.0 and newer (April 16th, 2020) will update itself when running ./zoom-mgr.sh update. Older releases will not. For older releases, to update Zoom Manager itself (not Zoom), just re-install it with the same instructions from the "Installation" section above. The chmod line won't be needed for the upgrade.

Once you've updated to Zoom Manager v0.5.0 or later, you can update Zoom and Zoom Manager at the same time with the update command.

Development

Instructions coming in the future.
