If you want to hack on this project, here is how you do it.
Show building instructions
Install Node.js 16 first (or if you use nvm, switch to Node.js 16 by running nvm use).
Extra dependencies for Windows
npm install --global --production windows-build-toolsExtra dependencies for GNU/Linux
X11, PNG and ZLIB development packages are necessary. Debian-like systems then can be installed as follows:
sudo apt install libx11-dev zlib1g-dev libpng-dev libxtst-devInstall all required packages:
npm installnpm startThe debugger tools are available when running in dev mode and can be activated with keyboard shortcuts as defined here https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-debug#features.
It can also be displayed automatically from the SHOW_DEV_TOOLS environment variable such as:
SHOW_DEV_TOOLS=true npm startor from the application --show-dev-tools command line flag.
npm run distjitsi-meet-electron-sdk is a helper package that implements many features such as remote control and the always-on-top window. If new features are to be added/tested, running with a local version of these utils is very handy, here is how to do that.
By default, the @jitsi/electron-sdk is built from npm. The default dependency path in package.json is:
"@jitsi/electron-sdk": "^3.0.0"To work with a local copy you must change the path to:
"@jitsi/electron-sdk": "file:///Users/name/jitsi-meet-electron-sdk-copy",To build the project you must force it to take the sources as npm update will
not do it.
npm install @jitsi/electron-sdk --forceNOTE: Also check the jitsi-meet-electron-sdk README to see how to configure your environment.
- Create release branch:
git checkout -b release-1-2-3, replacing 1-2-3 with the desired release version - Increment the version:
npm version patch, replacingpatchwithminorormajoras required - Push release branch to GitHub:
git push -u origin release-1-2-3 - Create PR:
gh pr create - Once PR is reviewed and ready to merge, create a draft Github release:
gh release create v1.2.3 --draft --title 1.2.3, replacing v1.2.3 and 1.2.3 with the desired release version - Merge PR
- The GitHub Action Workflow will build binaries and attach them to the draft release
- Test binaries from a draft release
- If all tests are fine, publish a draft release
A warning will show up mentioning the app is unsigned upon the first installation. This is expected.
On macOS Catalina and above versions, a warning will be displayed on the first installation. The app won't open unless "open" is pressed. This dialog is only shown once.
If after downloading it, you can't execute the file directly, try running chmod u+x ./comp-labs-meet-x86_64.AppImage
On Ubuntu 22.04 the AppImage will fail with a fuse error (as AppImage uses libfuse2, while 22.04 already comes with libfuse3 by default):
dlopen(): error loading libfuse.so.2
To fix this, install libfuse2 as follows:
sudo apt install libfuse2
Under Wayland, experimental native Wayland support can be enabled with the command-line switch --ozone-platform-hint set to auto:
./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage --ozone-platform-hint=auto
Note that screen sharing is currently not supported under Wayland, eg. the permissions prompt may loop endlessly.
In case you experience a blank page after Jitsi server upgrades, try removing the local cache files:
rm -rf ~/.config/Jitsi\ Meet/
NOTE for old GNU/Linux distributions
You might get the following error:
FATAL:nss_util.cc(632)] NSS_VersionCheck("3.26") failed. NSS >= 3.26 is required.
Please upgrade to the latest NSS, and if you still get this error, contact your
distribution maintainer.
If you do, please install NSS (example for Debian / Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install libnss3The JSON files are for all the strings inside the application and can be translated here.
New translations require the addition of a line in index.js And a New Translation file inside the directory /app/i18n/lang/translation.json. language.json to be replaced with the ISO 639-1 standard language codes. Example:
/app/i18n/index.js
import i18n from 'i18next';
import { initReactI18next } from 'react-i18next';
import moment from 'moment';
const languages = {
en: { translation: require('./lang/language.json') }
// Example for German (Standard)
// de: { translation: require('./lang/de.json') }
};
const detectedLocale = navigator.language;
i18n
.use(initReactI18next)
.init({
resources: languages,
lng: detectedLocale,
fallbackLng: 'en',
interpolation: {
escapeValue: false
}
});
moment.locale(detectedLocale);
export default i18n;/app/i18n/lang/language.json
NOTE: This is not an updated translation for Tech Fiddle Meet. As we Modified the Source Code, but we didn't modify the translation JSON files, so don't open an issue about this translation being incorrect. This will be corrected in the future. Thanks for your cooperation.
