Last updated：2023-03-09 16:58

Set up the development environment

Before integrating the ZEGO Express SDK, make sure the development environment meets the following requirements:

Any Linux distro with GLIBC 2.16 or above, supporting x86_64, aarch64, armhf, armel architectures
libasound (ALSA)
libv4l2 (v4l utils)
JDK 1.7 or later
Apache Maven 3.6 or later

The SDK depends on libasound (ALSA) and libv4l2 (v4l utils).
CentOS (RHEL/Fedora) can be installed by executing yum install alsa-lib-devel libv4l-devel command.
Ubuntu (Debian/Deepin) can be installed by executing apt install libasound2-dev libv4l-dev command.
For other platforms and systems, please install them by yourself.
If you need to cross-compile, you can refer to How to cross-compile alsa-lib and How to cross-compile v4l-utils. Note that the target machine also needs to have libasound and libv4l2 dependencies installed.

Integrate the SDK

Download the latest version of the SDK. For more details, see SDK downloads .
Choose either of the following two methods to integrate the SDK.

Method 1: Install a JAR in the local repository

a. First, install a JAR in the local repository using the following command:

$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=ZegoExpressEngine.jar -DgroupId=im.zego.express -DartifactId=ZegoExpressEngine -Dversion=1 -Dpackaging=jar

b. Then, modify the pom.xml configuration file of your project to add dependencies in the <dependencies>:

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>im.zego.express</groupId>
      <artifactId>ZegoExpressEngine</artifactId>
      <version>1</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

Method 2: Add a JAR file to an IntelliJ IDEA project

a. Open your IntelliJ IDEA project and select the File > Project Structure.

b. In the Project Structure dialog, select Libraries in the left pane, click +, and select Java.
