How to Install Zoom on MacBook Pro

Installing Zoom on your MacBook Pro is a straightforward process that can be completed using two different methods: Homebrew or the Zoom installer. In this article, we'll guide you through both steps to ensure you have Zoom up and running on your Mac.

Method 1: Installing Zoom via Homebrew

Homebrew is a popular package manager for Macs that simplifies the installation process of various software applications, including Zoom. To install Zoom using Homebrew, follow these steps:

* Open Terminal on your MacBook Pro by typing 'Terminal' in Spotlight search and hitting the return or enter key.

* Launch Terminal and use the command-line interface to navigate to the directory where you want to install Zoom.

Next, use the following command to install Zoom:

```

brew install zoom

```

Once the installation is complete, you can open Zoom from your Applications folder or by searching for it in Spotlight search.

Method 2: Installing Zoom using the Zoom Installer

Alternatively, you can download and install Zoom directly from the Zoom website. Here's how:

* Visit the Zoom Download Center and click on the 'Download' button.

* Click 'Continue' to proceed with the installation process.

* Select the language and region settings as prompted.

* Choose whether you want to install the Zoom client for meetings or other features.

Once the installer opens, follow the prompts to complete the installation process. The file will typically be saved to your Downloads folder.

Additional Tips

If you're having trouble installing Zoom using Homebrew, make sure that you have Homebrew installed on your Mac and that it's up to date. You can check if Homebrew is installed by opening Terminal and typing:

```

brew --version

```

This should display the version of Homebrew installed on your system.
