In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Metronome IM on Ubuntu Server Latest. Metronome is an XMPP server that provides a simple but powerful platform for instant messaging and group chat.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first thing you should do is update your Ubuntu Server to its latest version. To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Metronome requires a few dependencies to be installed before it can be installed. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install lua5.1 liblua5.1-0 liblua5.1-0-dev libidn11-dev libssl-dev lua-socket lua-sec lua-zlib lua-expat
Next, you need to download Metronome. To do so, run the following command:
wget https://packages.prosody.im/debian/pool/main/m/metronome/metronome_3.14.2+metronomian2-1_amd64.deb
Now that you have downloaded Metronome, you can install it using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i metronome_3.14.2+metronomian2-1_amd64.deb
This command will install Metronome and all its dependencies.
Once Metronome is installed, you need to configure it. To do this, open the Metronome configuration file located at /etc/metronome/metronome.cfg.lua.
sudo nano /etc/metronome/metronome.cfg.lua
You can configure Metronome according to your own preferences.
Finally, start Metronome with the following command:
sudo systemctl start metronome
To check if Metronome is running, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status metronome
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Metronome IM on Ubuntu Server Latest. You can now use Metronome for instant messaging and group chat.
