Tox is a free, open-source, secure and decentralized chat application that allows users to share data and communicate in real-time without risking any user privacy violations. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Tox on MXLinux Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation of Tox on MXLinux, ensure that your system has the following requirements:
To ensure that the packages on the Linux system are up-to-date, you should run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
To add Tox repository, we have to install the apt-transport-https package which allows apt to use repositories over HTTPS.
Run the following command in the terminal to install apt-transport-https package:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
After installing apt-transport-https, you have to add the GPG key for the repository using the following command:
wget -qO - https://pkg.tox.chat/debian/pkg.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
Now, add the Tox repository’s source to your system’s repository list:
echo "deb https://pkg.tox.chat/debian nightly release" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tox.list
You can now install the latest version of Tox using the apt-get command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qTox
The above command will install Tox and its dependencies on MXLinux Latest.
After installation, you can launch Tox by running the following command in the terminal:
