LibreMailer is a free, open-source email client developed by Averna Syd, and it's available on GitHub. In this tutorial, we'll go over the steps to install LibreMailer on Void Linux.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Before installing any new software, it is recommended to update your system to ensure that all packages are up to date. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo xbps-install -Su
This command will update all existing packages on your system.
LibreMailer requires some dependencies to function correctly. In this step, we are going to install these dependencies using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S cmake gcc make gtk+-2.0 webkit2gtk-4.0 gcr
This command will install all the required dependencies on your system.
Next, we need to clone the LibreMailer repository from GitHub. To do this, use the following command:
git clone https://github.com/averna-syd/LibreMailer.git
This command will clone the repository into your current working directory.
In this step, we'll navigate into the cloned repository and build LibreMailer using cmake. Run the following commands:
cd LibreMailer
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
These commands will compile LibreMailer on your system. Finally, install LibreMailer with the following command:
sudo make install
Now that LibreMailer is installed on your system, you can launch it by typing the following command in your terminal:
libremailer
That's it! You've successfully installed LibreMailer on your Void Linux system. You can easily install third-party plugins for LibreMailer to enhance its features. We hope this tutorial has been helpful to you.
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!
