It allows making video calls, attend online meetings, and perform collaborative tasks. After the workplaces have been closed due to Covid-19, the popularity of Zoom has been increased to keep work running smoothly. Zoom is free to use. However, to use its advanced features, you will have to purchase it.<\/p>\n<p>We described <a href=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/de\/ubuntu\/how-to-install-zoom-on-ubuntu-20-04-lts\/\">installation of Zoom on Ubuntu<\/a> in one of our previous posts. This post is about the installation of Zoom on CentOS 8.<\/p>\n<p>This post will cover how to install <em>Zoom <\/em>on CentOS using the following two methods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Installation via RPM package<\/li>\n<li>Installation via snap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Requirements:<\/h2>\n<p>You will require:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CentOS system<\/li>\n<li>A user with sudo access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: We will be demonstrating the procedure on <strong>CentOS 8 <\/strong>machine<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Installation via RPM package<\/h2>\n<p>This method involves downloading the Zoom package from the Zoom official <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/download?os=linux\">Downloads<\/a> page and then installing it using the yum package management tool. The complete steps are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1. Go to Zoom&#8217;s official <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\/download?os=linux\">Downloads<\/a> page. Select CentOS as <strong>Linux Type<\/strong>, and then select <strong>OS Architecture<\/strong> 32-bit or 64-bit and <strong>Version<\/strong> of CentOS. Then click <strong>Download<\/strong> to download the package on your machine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"853\" height=\"644\" class=\"wp-image-6677\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom.png\" alt=\"Downloading Zoom\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom.png 853w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom-768x580.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can find the downloaded RPM file in your Downloads folder.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can also download RPM file for Zoom using the command below:<\/p>\n<pre>$ wget https:\/\/cdn.zoom.us\/prod\/5.6.20278.0524\/zoom_x86_64.rpm<\/pre>\n<p>This command will download the Zoom version 5.6.20278.0524 on your current directory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"157\" class=\"wp-image-6678\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom-via-command-line.png\" alt=\"Downloading Zoom via Command Line\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom-via-command-line.png 813w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom-via-command-line-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/downloading-zoom-via-command-line-768x148.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. After the Zoom RPM file is downloaded, next, we will need to install it. Move inside the directory where the downloaded RPM file is placed. On the other hand, if it is in the current directory, then you can directly use the command below to install it:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo yum localinstall zoom_x86_64.rpm<\/pre>\n<p>Provide sudo password and hit <strong>y<\/strong> when prompted with <strong>y\/N<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"333\" class=\"wp-image-6679\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-zoom.png\" alt=\"installing Zoom\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-zoom.png 789w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-zoom-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-zoom-768x324.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the Zoom application is installed, you should see a similar view:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"104\" class=\"wp-image-6680\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/word-image.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/word-image.png 669w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/word-image-300x47.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Launch Zoom<\/h3>\n<p>To launch Zoom, you can either use the command line or the GUI.<\/p>\n<p>To launch Zoom via command line, use the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ zoom<\/pre>\n<p>To launch Zoom via the graphical interface, hit the super key and type <em>zoom<\/em> in the search area. When the Zoom icon appears, click it to launch Zoom.<\/p>\n<h2>Installation via Snap<\/h2>\n<p>The snap package for Zoom is also available for installation on CentOS. The complete steps are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1. In order to install a snap application, you will first have to install snapd. For snapd, you must first enable the EPEL repository. Here is the command to do so:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo yum install epel-release<\/pre>\n<p>Provide sudo password and hit <strong>y<\/strong> when prompted with <strong>y\/N<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"377\" class=\"wp-image-6681\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/enable-epep-repository.png\" alt=\"enable EPEP repository\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/enable-epep-repository.png 820w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/enable-epep-repository-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/enable-epep-repository-768x353.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>2. Now, you can install snapd using the yum command as follows:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo yum install snapd<\/pre>\n<p>Provide sudo password and hit <strong>y<\/strong> when prompted with <strong>y\/N<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"420\" class=\"wp-image-6682\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-snapd.png\" alt=\"installing snapd\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-snapd.png 819w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-snapd-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-snapd-768x394.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3. After snapd is installed, you will need to enable the snapd.socket as follows:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket<\/pre>\n<p>4. Then create a symlink for enabling classic snap support:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo ln -s \/var\/lib\/snapd\/snap \/snap<\/pre>\n<p>5. Now, you can install Zoom as follows:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo snap install zoom-client<\/pre>\n<p>Once Zoom is installed, you should see the following similar output:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"66\" class=\"wp-image-6683\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-zoom-via-snap.png\" alt=\"installing zoom via snap\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-zoom-via-snap.png 677w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/installing-zoom-via-snap-300x29.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Launch Zoom<\/h3>\n<p>To launch Zoom, use the following command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ zoom<\/pre>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"412\" class=\"wp-image-6684\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/word-image-1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/word-image-1.png 591w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/word-image-1-300x209.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Remove\/Uninstall Zoom<\/h2>\n<p>If you ever need to remove\/uninstall Zoom from your CentOS machine, you can do so as follows:<\/p>\n<p>To remove\/uninstall Zoom that you have installed using the RPM package, use this command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo yum remove zoom<\/pre>\n<p>To remove\/uninstall Zoom that you have installed using the snap package, use this command:<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo snap remove zoom-client<\/pre>\n<p>That is how you can install Zoom on CentOS machine using two different methods i.e via RPM and via snap. You can use any installation method that is most convenient for you. In the end, the method to remove Zoom is also described in case you need to remove it from your machine.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zoom is one of the top web conferencing platforms.
