Convos is a modern chat application that runs in your web browser, providing a fast and seamless experience for managing your IRC chats. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Convos on your Manjaro machine.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Convos requires the following dependencies to be installed on your Manjaro machine:
To install the necessary packages, open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S perl mojolicious openssl
Next, we need to download Convos from the official website. You can do this by visiting the following URL https://convos.chat/ and clicking on the "Download" button. This will download the latest version of Convos as a .tar.gz archive.
Alternatively, you can download Convos directly from the terminal using the wget command:
wget https://github.com/Nordaaker/convos/archive/refs/tags/v3.3.0.tar.gz
Replace v3.3.0 with the latest release version available.
Once you have downloaded the Convos archive, extract it to a directory of your choice. To do this, use the following command:
tar -zxvf convos-<version>.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the version number of the Convos archive you downloaded.
To install Convos on your Manjaro machine, run the following commands:
cd convos-<version>
sudo ./script/convos install
This will install Convos along with its required dependencies and configure it for use.
To start Convos, run the following command:
convos start
This will start the Convos server on your Manjaro machine. You can now access Convos by opening your web browser and entering localhost:8080 in the address bar.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Convos on your Manjaro machine. We hope that this tutorial was helpful for you and that you are now able to enjoy the benefits of using Convos for managing your IRC chats.
