Can Zoom write installing dependencies commands instead of just listing them?

Hi,

As in the Installing or updating Zoom on Linux document, there are 19 dependencies of zoom.

You just list them, then ALL users should rewrite their own installing instructions to install ALL dependencies.

 

So, why cannot you just write the installing instructions in official document instead of just list them ?

Such as, sudo apt install dep1 dep2 dep3 ..., then all Zoom users just need to copy and paste and run.

That saves  a little time of one user/client. But, Zoom has many many users around the world...

I get this error on Ubuntu 24.04 just now:

 

sudo apt install libglib2.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0  libxcb-shape0 libxcb-shm0 libxcb-xfixes0 libxcb-randr0 libxcb-image0 libfontconfig1 libgl1-mesa-glx libxi6 libsm6 libxrender1 libpulse0 libxcomposite1 libxslt1.1 libsqlite3-0 libxcb-keysyms1 libxcb-xtest0 ibus

And, the installing instructions should be different on different version of Ubuntu or other Linux Distro, such as on Ubuntu 20.04, user's should install dep1/dep2/dep3, while on Ubuntu 24.04, there only dep3 need to be install.

 

Zoom docs should make these differences clearly to users. Am I right?
