Install Gajim via Flatpak

Prerequisites:

You need to have flatpak and flatpak-builder installed. For this example, we use git for downloading/updating Gajim's sources.

Download Gajim's sources

In this example, we do a git clone of the repository, so you need to have git installed. Alternatively, you can also download the sources from our Gitlab via webbrowser.

git clone https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim.git ~/Gajim

cd ~/Gajim

Note: Source tarballs and snapshots do not include 'org.gajim.Gajim.json', which is necessary for installation via Flatpak.

Install Gajim and dependencies

Replace install path ~/Gajim/gajim_flatpak with an install path of your choice.

Note: Remove --user if you want a system-wide installation.

  1. flatpak --user remote-add --from gnome https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome.flatpakrepo
  2. flatpak --user install gnome org.gnome.Platform//3.30
  3. flatpak --user install gnome org.gnome.Sdk//3.30
  4. flatpak-builder --repo=gajim_flatpak_repo ~/Gajim/gajim_flatpak ~/Gajim/flatpak/org.gajim.Gajim.yaml
  5. flatpak --user remote-add --no-gpg-verify gajim_flatpak_repo gajim_flatpak_repo
  6. flatpak --user install gajim_flatpak_repo org.gajim.Gajim
  7. flatpak run org.gajim.Gajim

Thats it, you are now running Gajim via Flatpak!
