REQUIREMENTS

Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 38+, openSUSE Leap 15.5+ / Tumbleweed, and Debian 12+ (glibc >= 2.28).

SNAP package

Recommended for most distros.

Option A: Snap Store

1. Search for "Rambox" in your Snap Store or Software Manager.

2. Click Install and manage permissions (Camera, Audio, etc.) in the settings.

   

   Or use the command line:

   snap connect rambox:raw-usb
   snap connect rambox:u2f-devices
   snap connect rambox:camera
   snap connect rambox:audio-record
   snap connect rambox:removable-media
   snap connect rambox:cups-control

Option B: Command line

sudo snap install rambox

Option C: Local .snap file

1. Go to https://rambox.app/download/linux and download the snap file for Linux.

2. Then open a Terminal in the folder that contains the downloaded file.

3. Type:

   sudo snap install ./Rambox-*-linux-amd64.snap --dangerous

   (* stands for the Rambox version of the downloaded file).

   Note: The --dangerous flag is required only for local files because they are not being verified directly by the Snap Store.

4. Optionally, allow the accesses mentioned in Option A.
