Vonage Video Linux SDK

Apps written with the Linux SDK 2.32.0 can interoperate with apps written with version 2.30+ of the client SDKs:

• OpenTok.js (Web)
• Android SDK
• iOS SDK
• macOS SDK
• Windows SDK
• React Native SDK

The Vonage Video Linux SDK supports applications written in C/C++.

System requirements

The Linux SDK works on desktops and laptops running Debian 12 (amd64). In addition to a Debian package, we provide tgz packages for development on other platforms and architectures such as armv7 and arm64. However, Vonage Support staff can only diagnose and troubleshoot issues that are reproducible on desktops or laptops running Debian (amd64).

Using the SDK

Debian package

The Vonage Video Linux SDK for x86_64 (adm64) architecture is available as a Debian package. For Debian we support 12 (bookworm). We maintain our own Debian repository on packagecloud. Follow these steps to install the packages from our repository.

• Add packagecloud repository:

• Install the Vonage Video Linux SDK packages.

tgz packages

The Vonage Video Linux SDK for armv7 and arm64 architectures is available as a tgz package via a direct download in the Vonage Video developer center. There is also a package for x86_64.

• For x86_64 architecture find the tgz package at https://tokbox.com/downloads/libopentok_linux_llvm_x86_64-2.32.0

• For armv7 architecture find the tgz package at https://tokbox.com/downloads/libopentok_linux_llvm_armv7-2.32.0

• For arm64 architecture find the tgz package at https://tokbox.com/downloads/libopentok_linux_llvm_arm64-2.32.0

You can download any of those packages and use them in your applications.

After extracting the packages the folder with the contents contains a handy CMakeLists.txt file the developer can use if CMake is used in the application. The developer would need to add it via the ADD_SUBDIRECTORY() command, add $<TARGET_PROPERTY:libopentok,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES> to the list of include folders with the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES() command and finally add libopentok to the list of target link libraries.

ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(<absolute-path-to-package-folder> ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/libopentok)

# ...

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(<other-include-directories> $<TARGET_PROPERTY:libopentok,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)

# ...

ADD_EXECUTABLE(${PROJECT_NAME} <sources>)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${PROJECT_NAME} <other-libraries> libopentok)
