In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Status, a cross-platform messaging app, on EndeavourOS. We will be using GitHub to download the source code and build the application from scratch.
Before we can install Status, we need to ensure that all the necessary dependencies are in place. We will use the terminal to install these dependencies:
sudo pacman -S git go gcc make
This command will install Git, Go, GCC, and Make.
Next, we need to clone the Status repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/dani3l0/Status.git
This will create a new directory called Status in your current working directory.
Now that we have downloaded the source code, we can proceed to build the application. Change to the Status directory and run the following command:
make status
This will build the application and create a binary file called status.
After building the application, we can install it by running the following command:
sudo make install
This will install the status binary and any necessary files to your system.
Finally, we can launch Status by typing status in the terminal or searching for it in the application menu.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Status on EndeavourOS.

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
