In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing Element, a popular open-source messaging and collaboration tool, on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following requirements:
First, we need to install some dependencies required by Element. Use the following command to update your system and install the necessary packages:
sudo pacman -Syu npm libxss
Now, we can install Element using npm. Use the following command to download and install Element on your system:
sudo npm install -g @element/desktop-app
Element is now installed on your system! To launch the application, you can use the following command:
element-desktop
Alternatively, you can find Element in your system's application launcher and launch it from there.
In this tutorial, we have shown how to install Element on Arch Linux. With Element installed, you can take advantage of its powerful messaging and collaboration features.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
