How to install bluejeans Meeting in Ubuntu 18

Bluejeans meeting for desktop is only available for MAC OS, Windows and Linux based on rpm (CentOS, Redhat etc)

For Ubuntu we need to convert the rpm to deb, for this we use the program called Alien(https://wiki.debian.org/Alien)

Step1: sudo apt-get install alien

Step2: Download the rpm from bluejeans website and convert with following command.
sudo alien --to-deb bluejeans-1.37.22.x86_64.rpm
**replace the file with the downloaded rpm file name

Step3: dpkg (debian package) is a low level tool. apt (advanced package tool) is a high level tool, apt is more commonly used than dpkg as it can fetch packages from remote locations and can deal with complex package relations, such as dependency resolution etc.

From previous step deb file with the name "bluejeans_1.37.22-2_amd64.deb" was generated in my case. Now we will unpack the package and install with below command.

sudo dpkg -i bluejeans_1.37.22-2_amd64.deb

Step4: Start the blue jeans from below command

/opt/bluejeans/bluejeans-bin

Done.

**If you get error as below.

/opt/bluejeans/bluejeans-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then, go to this website http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/udev/
Download the latest of libudev0 example(libudev-dev_141-1.2_amd64.deb) then install with sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package
(or)
check if there is libdev file in directory
cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
ls libudev*
Then do soft link for the file from above command, in my case
sudo ln -s libudev.so.1.6.9 libudev.so.0
Done.
