Facebook Messenger for Linux<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Installing Facebook Messenger<\/h3>\n

The installation is very straightforward, simply open the terminal and install\u00a0python3<\/strong>,\u00a0PyQt4<\/strong>\u00a0dependencies packages required by the application to run.<\/p>\n

# apt-get install python-setuptools python3-setuptools python-qt4-phonon python-qt4-phonon python3-pyqt4.phonon<\/pre>\n
Next, download the\u00a0linuxmessenge<\/strong>r zip file from the\u00a0github<\/strong>\u00a0page, using\u00a0wget<\/strong>\u00a0command. Once downloaded, extract it to your desired directory or home directory. You should get the folder similar to \u201clinuxmessenger-master<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n
# wget https:\/\/github.com\/oconnor663\/linuxmessenger\/archive\/master.zip\r\n# unzip master.zip<\/pre>\n
To verify, whether application is working, Go to the extracted folder \u201clinuxmessenger-master<\/strong>\u201d and run the \u201cfbmessenger<\/strong>\u201d script file.<\/p>\n
# cd linuxmessenger-master\/\r\n# .\/fbmessenger<\/pre>\n
A \u201cFacebook Messenger<\/strong>\u201d window opens, Enter your Facebook login credentials and chat with your friends.<\/p>\n
\n
\"Install<\/a><\/p>\n
Facebook Messenger in Ubuntu 13.10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If you would like to install this application as a desktop client, simply run the \u201csetup.py<\/strong>\u201d script or you just execute the \u201cfbmessenger<\/strong>\u201d from the terminal and have everything as desktop client.<\/p>\n
# .\/setup.py install<\/pre>\n
There are also builds for\u00a0RPM<\/strong>\u00a0based and\u00a0Debian<\/strong>\u00a0distributions, so you can install and build it on most distro. As I said the script written in\u00a0Python<\/strong>\u00a0language, so it should work on all\u00a0Linux<\/strong>\u00a0platforms as long as required dependencies packages are fulfilled.<\/p>\n
