  • You might be better off installing the pre-compiled `.deb` from here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/releases under the "Assets" dropdown for the release you want. The `.deb` will give you the `.desktop` shortcut and put it in `/usr/bin` which should always be on the `$PATH`.
