<h1>Gajim Read Me</h1>

<p>Welcome to Gajim and thank you for trying out our client.</p>

<h2>Runtime Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>python3.4 or higher</li>
<li>python3-gi</li>
<li>gir1.2-gtk-3.0</li>
<li>python-nbxmpp</li>
</ul>

<h2>Optional Runtime Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>python3-openssl (>=0.14) for <em>secure</em> SSL/TLS. Python's default SSL is insecure, so this package is highly recommended!</li>
<li>python3-pyasn1 to check SSL/TLS certificate</li>
<li>python3-crypto to enable End to end encryption</li>
<li>python3-gnupg to enable GPG encryption</li>
<li>For zeroconf (bonjour), the "enable link-local messaging" checkbox, you need dbus-glib, python-avahi</li>
<li>dnsutils (or whatever package provides the nslookup binary) for SRV support</li>
<li>gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0 and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc</li>
<li>gir1.2-secret-1 for GNOME Keyring or KDE support as password storage</li>
<li>gir1.2-notify-0.7 to get cooler popups</li>
<li>D-Bus running to have gajim-remote working. Some distributions split dbus-x11, which is needed for dbus to work with Gajim. Version >= 0.80 is required.</li>
<li>python3-dbus bindings (>=1.2.0)</li>
<li>gir1.2-farstream-0.2, gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 and gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 for audio and video calls</li>
<li>gir1.2-gupnpigd-1.0 for better NAT traversing</li>
<li>gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 for network lose detection</li>
</ul>

<p>Some distributions also split too much python standard library. I know SUSE does. In such distros you also need python-xml the xml lib that *comes* with python and not pyxml or whatever.</p>

<h2>Compile-time Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>intltool (>= 0.40.1)</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>NOTE:</strong> If you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies.</p>

<h2>Installation Procedure</h2>
<ol>
<li>tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2</li>
<li>cd gajim</li>
<li>./configure</li>
<li>make (builds translations)</li>
<li>su -c make install</li>
</ol>

<p>To specify where to install do:</p>
<pre>
    ./configure --prefix=custom_path
</pre>

<h2>Running Gajim</h2>
<p>Just do <em>gajim</em> or you can run Gajim from your GNOME/Xfce/KDE/whatever menus.<br/><br/>
or if you use hg version and you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with<em>./launch.sh</em></p>
<hr />
<h3>Note for hg users</h3>
<p>You will need GNU autotools in order to install Gajim from svn. This includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>automake &gt;= 1.8 </li>
<li>autoconf &gt;= 2.59 </li>
<li>libtool</li>
<li>intltool-0.40.1 </li>
<li>pkgconfig &gt;= 0.19</li>
</ul>
<p>steps to compile gajim:</p>
<pre>
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ ./configure
    $ make
</pre>
<p>Alternatively, if you don't want to install all these packages, you can get a nightly snapshot from <a href="http://www.gajim.org/downloads/snap/">here</a> and procede as usual:</p>
<pre>
    $ ./configure
    $ make
</pre>
<h2>Uninstallation Procedure</h2>
<pre>
    su -c make uninstall
</pre>
<p>this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories.
If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as:
</p>
<pre>
    ./configure --prefix=custom_path
    make uninstall
</pre>

<h2>Miscellaneous</h2>
<h3>XML &amp; Debugging</h3>
<p>If you want to see the xml stanzas and/or help us debugging
you're advised to enable verbose via advanced configuration window.
If you don't want to make this permanent, execute gajim with --verbose
everytime you want to have verbose output.</p>
