In this guide you will learn how to install SignalDuckstopsClient in your favorite
0:09
leading distribution. So the application can be installed through various ways. One
0:13
of them is using the repository that is provided by the developers. You can also
0:18
use the pre-built packages and you can also use the snap app or the flatback
0:25
application of the signal desktop client. In this guide I will demonstrate two
0:31
different ways that you can utilize to get the application in your distribution
0:35
So the very first is using the repository and you can add the repository in your
0:41
distribution if you're using Debian or Ubuntu based distribution then you can
0:46
utilize these commands. First we copy this command from here simply copy it and
0:51
paste it in your terminal hit the enter it will download the key and ask for the
0:58
password then simply type in the password so that it can add the key into the system After that simply copy this command the second one this will add the
1:09
repository link into the system this will also ask for the password but in my
1:15
case it didn't because I have already provided the password the session already
1:18
has the super user. So now you just simply copy the last command this will
1:24
update the repos in the system and install the Signal desktop client into
1:30
the system. While it is installing the application let me show you how you can
1:35
get the build files directly. For that you have to go to the packages.org and
1:44
here simply type signal you will get this option Signal desktop click on it
1:51
and you will get the pre-built applications from here. So the installation has completed now simply search for the app in the system So this is the signal now in order to configure it you have to open up your mobile phone because
2:12
it is required to install the application in a mobile phone first and then connect it
2:20
using the app. So I have already installed the application you can get it using the play store
2:25
or the app store if you are using iOS. So here is my phone. Now let me simply open up the app
2:32
go to the settings and click on the linked devices option. And from there I just have
2:38
to scan this QR code. Tap on the plus button and scan the code. And simply edit
2:47
and finish linking phone
2:57
As you can see the configuration has been completed. Now you can simply choose a contact and start sending the messages So this was using the repository that is provided by the application Additionally you can also use the snap and the flatpak for the application
3:18
And for that you have to set up these two in your distribution
3:22
You can check out these guides. They will help you to install and configure snap and flatpak in your distribution
3:30
After that it's pretty easy. Simply copy the command and install the application
3:35
So if you wanna install it using the flat pack, simply copy this command, run it, then
3:39
this command and run it. It will get installed. Similarly for the snap, simply click on install and run this command to install the single
3:48
desktop client. So that was the guide about the snap desktop client
