Ergo is a chat application designed for gamers, programmers, and entrepreneurs who want to communicate securely and privately. It comes with several features like end-to-end encryption, file sharing, and voice messaging. If you are using Clear Linux Latest and want to install Ergo, then this tutorial will guide you through the process.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
It is always good to update your system before installing any software. Open up your terminal and run the following command to update your system:
sudo swupd update
Wait for the system update to complete before proceeding to the next step.
Ergo is available as a Flatpak package. Flatpak is a package manager for Linux systems that can install packages without disturbing the system dependencies. If you do not have Flatpak installed on your system, then run the following command to install it:
sudo swupd bundle-add flatpak
Ergo is available in the Flathub repository. To install it, you need to add the Flathub repository to your system. Run the following command to add the Flathub repository:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Now that you have added the Flathub repository, you can install Ergo by running the following command in your terminal:
flatpak install flathub chat.ergo.Ergo
Wait for the installation to complete. Ergo will be installed in your system now.
You can launch Ergo from the terminal by typing the following command:
flatpak run chat.ergo.Ergo
Alternatively, you can search for Ergo in the applications menu and launch it from there.
That's it! You have successfully installed Ergo on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use Ergo to chat with your friends and colleagues securely and privately. If you face any issues during the installation process, feel free to refer to the official documentation available at https://ergo.chat/docs/.
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!
