Tox is a secure and decentralized chat platform that allows you to communicate with friends and colleagues without fearing surveillance or data leaks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Tox on macOS.
Open the Terminal app on your macOS device.
Install Homebrew, a package manager that makes it easy to install and manage software packages on macOS, by running the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Verify that Homebrew is installed correctly by running the following command:
brew doctor
Install Tox using Homebrew by running the following command:
brew install --cask qtox
This command will download and install Tox on your macOS device.
Once Tox is installed, navigate to your Applications folder and launch the Tox app.
Create a new account by following the on-screen prompts.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tox on your macOS device. You can now use Tox to communicate with your friends and colleagues in a secure and decentralized way.
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!
