Linux

Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives​

To simplify deployment and help automate this for as many users as possible, we provide a BASH script to handle repo installation as well as installing Jellyfin on Debian / Ubuntu and derivatives. All you need to do is run this command on your system (requires curl, or subsitute curl with wget -O-):

curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
note

You can verify the script download integrity with (requires sha256sum):

diff <( curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh -o install-debuntu.sh; sha256sum install-debuntu.sh ) <( curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh.sha256sum )

An empty output means everything is correct. Then you can inspect the script to see what it does (optional but recommended) and execute it with:

less install-debuntu.sh
sudo bash install-debuntu.sh
note

The script tries to handle as many common derivatives as possible, including, at least, Linux Mint (Ubuntu and Debian editions), Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS, and KDE Neon. We welcome PRs to the script for any other common derivatives.

Other Distributions​

For other distributions, containers are the recommended way to install Jellyfin. There are also community-maintained packages provided by 3rd parties if you would like to use them instead.
