This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing and using Chitchatter on EndeavourOS, a rolling-release Linux distro based on Arch Linux.
Before installing any new software, it is important to ensure that your system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all the installed packages and dependencies on your system.
Chitchatter is an open-source software, which means you will need Git to clone the repository and build it from source. To install Git, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
Now that you have Git installed, you need to clone the Chitchatter repository to your local machine. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/coaxial/chitchatter.git
This will create a local copy of the Chitchatter repository in your current directory.
Before you can use Chitchatter, you need to install its dependencies. These are listed in the requirements.txt file in the repository. To install them, run the following command in your terminal:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Note: If you do not have pip installed on your system, you can install it by running sudo pacman -S python-pip.
Now that you have installed all the dependencies, you can launch Chitchatter by running the following command:
python chitchatter.py
This will launch Chitchatter on your system, and you can start chatting with your friends and family.
That's it! You have successfully installed and launched Chitchatter on EndeavourOS. Now you can enjoy a secure and private messaging experience with your loved ones. In case you encounter any issues during the installation or usage of Chitchatter, please refer to the official documentation or the issue tracker on the repository.
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!
