|
|
|
|
The motivation behind the project is to provide a native desktop app for [Matrix] that
|
|
feels more like a mainstream chat app ([Riot], Telegram etc) and less like an IRC client.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
Most of the features you would expect from a chat application are missing right now
|
|
but we are getting close to a more feature complete client.
|
|
Specifically there is support for:
|
|
- User registration.
|
|
- Creating, joining & leaving rooms.
|
|
- Sending & receiving invites.
|
|
- Sending & receiving files and emoji (inline widgets for images, audio and file messages).
|
|
- Typing notifications.
|
|
- Username auto-completion.
|
|
- Message & mention notifications.
|
|
- Redacting messages.
|
|
- Read receipts.
|
|
- Basic communities support.
|
|
- Room switcher (ctrl-K).
|
|
- Light, Dark & System themes.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Nightly releases
|
|
- Linux [AppImage](https://github.com/mujx/nheko/releases/download/nightly/nheko-x86_64.AppImage)
|
|
- Windows [x64 installer](https://github.com/mujx/nheko/releases/download/nightly/nheko-installer.exe)
|
|
- macOS [disk image](https://github.com/mujx/nheko/releases/download/nightly/nheko.dmg)
|
|
|
|
### Repositories
|
|
|
|
#### Arch Linux
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacaur -S nheko-git
|
|
|
|
# or
|
|
|
|
pacaur -S nheko
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Fedora
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf install nheko
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Gentoo Linux
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo layman -a matrix
|
|
sudo emerge -a nheko
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Alpine Linux (and postmarketOS)
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the testing repositories from `edge` enabled. Note that this is not needed on postmarketOS.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apk add nheko
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Qt5 (5.7 or greater). Qt 5.7 adds support for color font rendering with
|
|
Freetype, which is essential to properly support emoji.
|
|
- CMake 3.1 or greater.
|
|
- [LMDB](https://symas.com/lightning-memory-mapped-database/).
|
|
- A compiler that supports C++ 14:
|
|
- Clang 5 (tested on Travis CI)
|
|
- GCC 7 (tested on Travis CI)
|
|
- MSVC 19.13 (tested on AppVeyor)
|
|
|
|
#### Linux
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to install any external dependencies, you can generate an AppImage locally using docker.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make docker-app-image
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're on Debian you should use `make docker-debian-appimage` instead, which uses
|
|
Debian as the build host in an attempt to work around this [issue](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Desktop-Linux-Platform-Issues#openssl).
|
|
|
|
##### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-tools qt5-multimedia qt5-svg cmake gcc fontconfig lmdb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Gentoo Linux
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo emerge -a ">=dev-qt/qtgui-5.7.1" media-libs/fontconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Ubuntu (e.g 14.04)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt592-trusty
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y g++-7 qt59base qt59svg qt59tools qt59multimedia cmake liblmdb-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### macOS (Xcode 8 or later)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew update
|
|
brew install qt5 lmdb cmake llvm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo and run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
which invokes cmake and translates to
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
|
|
cmake --build build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the build fails with the following error
|
|
```
|
|
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Widgets" with
|
|
any of the following names:
|
|
|
|
Qt5WidgetsConfig.cmake
|
|
qt5widgets-config.cmake
|
|
```
|
|
You might need to pass `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` to cmake to point it at your qt5 install.
|
|
|
|
e.g on macOS
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix qt5)
|
|
cmake --build build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `nheko` binary will be located in the `build` directory.
|
|
|
|
#### Nix
|
|
|
|
Download the repo as mentioned above and run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
in the project folder. This will output a binary to `result/bin/nheko`.
|
|
|
|
You can also install nheko by running `nix-env -f . -i`
