Jellyfin seeks to integrate build facilities for any desired packaging format. Instructions for the various formats can be found below.
NOTE: When building from source, only cloning the full Git repository is supported, rather than using a `.zip`/`.tar` archive, in order to support submodules.
### Debian/Ubuntu
Debian build facilities are integrated into the repo at `debian/`.
1. Install the `dotnet-sdk-2.1` package via [Microsoft's repositories](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/linux-package-manager/debian9/sdk-2.1.500).
2. Run `dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -jX`, where X is your core count.
3. Install the resulting `jellyfin*.deb` file on your system.
A huge thanks to Carlos Hernandez who created the Debian build configuration for Emby 3.1.1.
### Windows (64 bit)
A pre-built windows installer will be available at [The JellyFin Repository](https://repo.jellyfin.org/).
1. Install the dotnet core SDK 2.1 from [Microsoft's Webpage](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/thank-you/dotnet-sdk-2.1.500-windows-x64-installer)
2. Clone Jellyfin into a directory of your choice. From that directory run in powershell `dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64 MediaBrowser.sln -o $Env:APPDATA\Jellyfin-Server` or in CMD `dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64 MediaBrowser.sln -o %APPDATA%\Jellyfin-Server`
3. (Optional) Copy the ffmpeg binaries into the Jellyfin directory:
