How to install

Note: If you download from the releases page, be careful what version you pick. Releases that end with -beta are beta releases and the rest are stable.

  • beta: these releases are the right balance between getting new features early while staying away from nasty bugs.
  • stable: these releases are more thoroughly tested; they receive new features later, but there's a lower chance that things will go wrong.

OS X

DMG or zip:

  1. Download Zulip-x.x.x.dmg or Zulip-x.x.x-mac.zip
  2. Open or unzip the file and drag the app into the Applications folder
  3. Done! The app will update automatically

Using brew:

  1. Run brew cask install zulip in your terminal
  2. The app will be installed in your Applications
  3. Done! The app will update automatically (you can also use brew update && brew upgrade zulip)

You can also use apt-get (recommended):

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv 69AD12704E71A4803DCA3A682424BE5AE9BD10D9

  sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zulip.list
  • Now install the client :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zulip
