|
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](https://matrix.to/#/#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
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacaur -S nheko-git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
|
|
You can find a NSIS installer [here](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mujx/nheko/branch/master/artifacts).
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
- 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Ubuntu 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### OSX (Xcode 7 or later)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ brew update
|
|
$ brew install qt5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # Default is Debug.
|
|
make -C build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `nheko` binary will be located in the `build` directory.
|
|
