Dim is a decentralized instant messenger designed to secure communication and protect user privacy. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Dim on Fedora Server Latest using the command line.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Dim requires several dependencies to be installed on your system before it can be installed successfully. To install these dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo dnf install snapd dbus-broker
Snapd is the package manager used to install and manage Dim on Fedora Server Latest. To enable the Snapd socket, run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Now that we have installed the required dependencies and enabled the Snapd socket, we can go ahead and install Dim. To do so, simply run the following command in your terminal:
sudo snap install dim
The installation process may take a few minutes to complete, depending on your internet speed and system resources.
Once the installation process is complete, you can launch Dim by executing the following command:
dim-desktop
Alternatively, you can also launch it from your application launcher.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Dim on your Fedora Server Latest environment. You can now use it to securely communicate with your friends and colleagues while protecting your privacy.
