|
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:
|
|
- Joining & leaving rooms
|
|
- Sending & receiving images and emoji.
|
|
- Typing notifications.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
There are pre-built nigtly releases [here](https://github.com/mujx/nheko/releases/tag/nightly) for Linux ([AppImage](https://appimage.org/)), Mac and Windows.
|
|
|
|
#### Arch Linux
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacaur -S nheko-git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Fedora
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf copr enable xvitaly/matrix
|
|
sudo dnf install nheko
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Gentoo Linux
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo layman -a matrix
|
|
sudo emerge -a 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++11.
|
|
- Clang 3.3 (or greater).
|
|
- GCC 4.8 (or greater).
|
|
|
|
##### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-tools 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-qt58-trusty
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install qt58base qt58tools cmake liblmdb-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### OSX (Xcode 8 or later)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew update
|
|
brew install qt5 lmdb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
N.B. you will need to pass `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt5`
|
|
to cmake to point it at your qt5 install (tweaking the path as needed)
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo with its submodules
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mujx/nheko
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/mujx/nheko
|
|
cd nheko
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and then use the following
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # Default is Debug.
|
|
make -C 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`
|
|
|
|
