LeapChat is a multi-platform, open-source, and encrypted messaging application that allows you to chat securely with your friends and colleagues. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing LeapChat on OpenSUSE.
Before installing LeapChat, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to add the LeapChat repository to your OpenSUSE system. To do this, follow the below steps:
Open the terminal on your OpenSUSE system and run the following command to install the wget tool:
sudo zypper install wget
Once the installation is complete, run the following command to download the LeapChat repository file:
wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/lupinix:/leapchat/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/home:lupinix:leapchat.repo
Copy the downloaded repository file to the /etc/zypp/repos.d/ directory:
sudo cp home:lupinix:leapchat.repo /etc/zypp/repos.d/
Update the system's package repositories:
sudo zypper refresh
Now that the LeapChat repository has been added to your OpenSUSE system, you can install it using the following command:
sudo zypper install leapchat
This will download and install LeapChat along with its dependencies. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, this may take several minutes.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch LeapChat from the applications menu or by running the following command in the terminal:
leapchat
Now you have successfully installed LeapChat on your OpenSUSE system. You can start using it to chat with your friends and colleagues securely. If you face any issues during the installation process, feel free to reach out to LeapChat's support team or consult their documentation.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
