Install

The following steps install μTox on your computron/toaster/carrier pigeon. This guide gets you running ASAP. It mostly deals with precomplied binaries. If you're looking to contribute (you're the real MVP) you're probably looking for Building.

For any and all of the following, you'll need to have toxcore installed first.

Unix-like

Dependencies:

Name Required
cmake >= 3.2 yes
dbus no
filter_audio no
freetype yes
GTK no (runtime only)
libvpx yes
openal yes
toxcore yes
v4l yes
xext yes
xrender yes
  1. First compile:

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make
  2. Then install:

    sudo make install

If make/install really isn't your thing, you can try some precomplied binaries.

Archlinux

If you're lucky enough to use Archlinux, uTox is in the community repo.

Install by running:

sudo pacman -S utox

Slackware

If you use Slackware you can download the slack build from here: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/network/uTox/

OpenBSD

Right now no one is providing binaries. You will have to compile uTox. See instructions.

FreeBSD

You can install uTox using pkg.

Install using:

sudo pkg install utox

OS X

No one is currently providing binaries for OSX yet... Sorry Apple people... you should ask @stal888 to do something about that!

I guess I'll try to build it.

Windows

Installing on windows isn't really a thing yet... you can download the nighties. They should just work.

  • 32-bit
  • 64-bit
  • Updater (delayed, ask grayhatter for it, and it'll happen)

Android

Install uTox from the Google Play Store or download the APK: uTox.apk

Meta

Jenkins offers automatically compiled binaries. All files below link to the last successful build.
