Back for round 3 and this time my PC is dual booting windows and Linux(mint) so I’ve got 2 methods of trying this. I have failed at both. In the time since I tried to run Jellyfin a few months ago the install process has changed completely and I can’t even get it to boot. Windows I can’t even get the server to open. Linux I can get the client to work but the server throws up libicu67 is not satisfiable. I’m completely lost any help would be great

Edit one

No luck with the docker I keep getting a permission denied error

Edit two

God bless the terminal it appears to be working

It sounds like you're trying to do too much manual stuff. Anything self-hosted is rather complex by default. But, it is designed to be simple to manage and install, as long as you use the tools intended for it. Jellyfin is packaged in all sorts of ways, and each way aims at different use cases. If it's going to run on your daily driver, best use docker to keep your desktop and the server separated, else it might complain of that sort of library compatibility issues.
