Gathering of useful set up and ad addition scripts for various Linux distros
Linux does not natively have the drivers to run the mac camera, so you need to add them. I have tried this in Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora - it works in all of these distros and there is no reason for it not to work on any other distro.
Original gist and credits here
Installation
1 - Create a file .sh and name it as you please
2 - Give the file permission sudo chmod +x filename
3 - Run the file sudo ./filename
You can get an error along the line of modprobe: FATAL: Module bdc_pci not found.. This is OK, it means your system did not have that file.
4 - Run sudo modprobe facetimehd
5 - Reboot your system, and enjoy the working camera!

By far my favourite plugin manager for zsh - it's so easy and handy and it doesn't really need set up at all.
