nheko
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.
Join the discussion on Matrix #nheko:matrix.org.
Features
Most of the features you'd expect from a chat application are missing right now but you can of course receive and send messages in the rooms that you are a member of.
Installation
Arch Linux
pacaur -S nheko-git
Gentoo Linux
sudo layman -a matrix
sudo emerge -a nheko
Windows
You can find a NSIS installer here.
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.
- A compiler that supports C++11.
- Clang 3.3 (or greater).
- GCC 4.8 (or greater).
Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-tools cmake gcc fontconfig lmdb
Gentoo Linux
sudo emerge -a ">=dev-qt/qtgui-5.7.1" media-libs/fontconfig
Ubuntu (e.g 14.04)
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)
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
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mujx/nheko
or
git clone https://github.com/mujx/nheko
cd nheko
git submodule update --init
and then use the following
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # Default is Debug.
make -C build
The nheko binary will be located in the build directory.
MacOS
You can create an app bundle with make app. The output will be located at
dist/MacOS/Nheko.app which can be copied to /Applications/Nheko.app.
You can also create a disk image with make dmg. The output will be located at
dist/MacOS/Nheko.dmg
Nix
Download the repo as mentioned above and run
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
Contributing
Any kind of contribution to the project is greatly appreciated. You are also encouraged to open feature request issues.
Screens
Here is a screen shot to get a feel for the UI, but things will probably change.
