This guide helps you ___host your own Jitsi server___. If you want to have a video conference without setting up any infrastructure, use https://meet.jit.si instead.
This document describes the required steps for a quick Jitsi Meet installation on a Debian based GNU/Linux system. Debian 8 (Jessie) or later, and Ubuntu 14.04 or later are supported out-of-the-box.
## Requirements
The installation steps documented here are intended for Debian-based GNU/Linux systems.
Systems running the following versions are supported by this guide:
1. Debian 8 (Jessie) or later
1. Ubuntu 14.04 or later
To check the operating system available, you can run `cat /etc/issue` at the command-line.
Debian Wheezy and other older systems may require additional things to be done. Specifically for Wheezy, [libc needs to be updated](http://lists.jitsi.org/pipermail/users/2015-September/010064.html).
