NOTE: Ubuntu users may find that the `ffmpeg` dependency package is not present in their release or is simply a rebranded `libav` which is not directly compatible. Please [obtain the ffmpeg package directly from the FFMPEG site](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-linux) to use Jellyfin on Ubuntu.
#### Clean install
0. Install the `dotnet-runtime-2.2` package via [Microsoft's repositories](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2).
The following procedure should work to upgrade from Emby to Jellyfin on an existing installation:
0. Upgrade to Emby 3.5.X, preferably 3.5.2, so the database schema is fully up-to-date and consistent. This is somewhat optional but can reduce the risk of obscure bugs later on.
0. Stop the `emby-server` daemon:
```
sudo service emby-server stop
```
0. Move your existing Emby data directory out of the way:
```
sudo mv /var/lib/emby /var/lib/emby.backup
```
0. Remove the `emby-server` package:
```
sudo apt remove emby-server
```
0. Install the `jellyfin` package using the instructions above, verifying that `/var/lib/emby` is a symlink to `/var/lib/jellyfin`.
0. Stop the `jellyfin` daemon:
```
sudo service jellyfin stop
```
0. Copy over all the data files from the old backup data directory:
```
sudo cp -a /var/lib/emby.backup/* /var/lib/jellyfin/
```
0. Correct ownership on the new data directory:
```
sudo chown -R jellyfin:jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin
```
0. Start the `jellyfin` daemon:
```
sudo service jellyfin start
```
This same general procedure should apply for upgrades on any other platform as well though the specific commands and/or paths may be different.
For instructions on using the repository, please see [our wiki](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/wiki/Jellyfin-Debian-repository).
It is built on top of other popular open source technologies such as Service Stack, jQuery, jQuery mobile, and Mono. It features a REST-based api with built-in documentation to facilitate client development. We also have client libraries for our api to enable rapid development.
