Briefkasten is a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging application that allows you to communicate privately with others. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Briefkasten on Void Linux.
Before starting this tutorial, make sure that you have the following:
First, we need to install some dependencies required to build and install Briefkasten. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S build-base qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtmultimedia-devel libnotifications-devel libxslt-devel libxslt-tools
This will install the build tools, Qt 5 development libraries, and other necessary dependencies.
Next, we need to download the Briefkasten source code from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ndom91/briefkasten.git
This will download the source code into a new directory named briefkasten.
Now, we need to compile and install Briefkasten. Navigate to the briefkasten directory and run the following commands:
qmake
make
sudo make install
This will compile the source code and install Briefkasten on your system.
Once Briefkasten is installed, you can launch it by running the following command in the terminal:
briefkasten
This will launch the Briefkasten application.
Briefkasten is now installed on your Void Linux system. You can start using it to communicate securely with others. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the Briefkasten 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!
