CamGrabber installation on Ubuntu

CamGrabber is distributed for Ubuntu through the CityScreen APT repository as the cityscreen-camgrabber package. Packages are built for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy) and 24.04 (Noble); older LTS releases (16.04–20.04) have legacy builds.

Adding the APT repository

Add the repository matching your Ubuntu release, then update the package index. For Ubuntu 22.04:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://packages.cityscreen.cloud/repository/jammy-releases jammy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cityscreen.list
sudo apt-get update

For Ubuntu 24.04 replace both jammy occurrences with noble.

Installing the package

sudo apt-get install cityscreen-camgrabber -y

The package installs into /opt/cityscreen together with its dependencies.

Autostart

The package registers CamGrabber for autostart: after a system reboot the daemon starts automatically, minimized to the tray. No manual launch is needed on player devices.

Upgrading and removing

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade   # upgrade
sudo apt-get remove cityscreen-camgrabber -y  # remove

Next step

Connect CamGrabber to the player and your account: Connecting to Player and Server.
