In this tutorial, we're going to guide you through the process of installing Spectrum 2 on Fedora Server Latest. Spectrum 2 is a modern open-source software designed to connect different instant messaging protocols and services.
Before proceeding with the installation of Spectrum 2, it's important to ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step you need to take is to install the required dependencies. You can do this by running the command below:
sudo dnf install cmake gcc gcc-c++ git make libpurple-devel libpurple-glib-devel libpurple-plugin-ssl-devel libtool libconfig-devel
Next, you need to download the latest version of Spectrum 2 from their official website. You can do this by running the command below:
git clone https://github.com/SpectrumIM/spectrum2.git
Once the download is complete, change into the spectrum2 directory using the command below:
cd spectrum2
Next, create a build directory and move into it by running the commands below:
mkdir build
cd build
Next, generate the makefiles by running the command below:
cmake ..
After that, compile the Spectrum 2 software by running the command below:
make
Finally, install the software by running the command below:
sudo make install
After installing Spectrum 2, you need to configure it based on the messaging service you want to use. In this case, we're going to configure it for the Telegram messaging service.
First, create a configuration file by running the command below:
sudo nano /etc/spectrum2.conf
Then, copy and paste the following configuration settings, replacing your-telegram-token-here with your actual Telegram API token:
[service.telegram]
username = john.smith
token = your-telegram-token-here
loglevel = debug
allowedUsernames = john.smith
forceLongPoll = true
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then Y, then ENTER.
Finally, start the Spectrum 2 service by running the command below:
sudo spectrum2_manager start
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Spectrum 2 on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start using it to communicate with your friends and colleagues on different messaging platforms.
