Cloe

Cloe is a CLI tool to join Zoom meetings with the Zoom Desktop Client. Cloe also makes it convenient to join recurring meetings using a unique meeting name, so that you don't have to type in the meeting ID and password every time.

This tool works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Requirements: Python 3.5 or higher is required to run cloe.py.

Refer to the User Guide for instructions on how to use Cloe.

Setup Alias

Using an alias makes it a lot more convenient to write out the commands.

For instance, instead of typing:

$ python3 path/to/cloe.py join my-meeting

You can just type in:

$ cloe join my-meeting

Creating an Alias in Linux:

  1. Open the Terminal and cd to the home directory.
     
  2. Enter ls -a and check if there is a .bashrc file.
     
  3. If the .bashrc file does not exist, create it by running touch .bashrc in the Terminal.
     
  4. Now run the command nano .bashrc to open up the file in the nano editor.
     
  5. On a fresh line at the end of the file, add the line alias cloe='python3 path/to/cloe.py'. Make sure to replace path/to/cloe.py with the path to wherever you stored the cloe.py script on your system.
     
  6. Press Ctrl + X and then press Y to save the changes you made to the .bashrc file. Now close the Terminal.
     
  7. Open up a fresh Terminal and run the command source ~/.bashrc to put into effect the changes you made.

Creating an Alias in macOS:

  1. Open the Terminal and cd to the home directory.
     
  2. Enter ls -a and check if there is the .zshrc file.
     
  3. If the .zshrc file does not exist, create it by running touch .zshrc in the Terminal.
     
  4. Now run the command nano .zshrc to open up the file in the nano editor.
     
  5. On a fresh line at the end of the file, add the line alias cloe='python3 path/to/cloe.py'. Make sure to replace path/to/cloe.py with the path to wherever you stored the cloe.py script on your system.
     
  6. Press Cmd + X and then press Y to save the changes you made to the .zshrc file. Now close the Terminal.
     
  7. Open up a fresh Terminal and run the command source ~/.zshrc to put into effect the changes you made.

From now on, you can run your commands for Cloe like so:

$ cloe join <meeting-name>
