Thunderbird is a free and open-source email client developed by Mozilla. It supports multiple accounts, RSS, and newsgroup feeds, and features a built-in spam filter. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Thunderbird on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before installing Thunderbird, it is important to ensure that your system is up to date. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will update all installed packages on your system.
Go to the Thunderbird website at https://www.thunderbird.net/ and click on the green "Download Thunderbird" button.
You will be directed to a page where you can download Thunderbird for your operating system. Select the option for Linux and download the version that matches your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Thunderbird archive. Use the following command to extract the archive:
tar -xjf thunderbird-*.tar.bz2
Replace the * with the specific version you downloaded. This will extract the Thunderbird files to a directory called thunderbird.
To make Thunderbird accessible from your system applications menu, you need to move the thunderbird directory to the /opt directory. Open the terminal and use the following command:
sudo mv thunderbird /opt/
To be able to launch Thunderbird from the terminal, you need to create a symbolic link to the thunderbird executable. Use the following command:
sudo ln -s /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/bin/thunderbird
You can now launch Thunderbird by searching for it in your system applications menu or by running the following command in the terminal:
thunderbird
