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.
flatpak --user remote-add --from gnome https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install gnome org.gnome.Platform//3.30
flatpak --user install gnome org.gnome.Sdk//3.30
flatpak-builder --repo=gajim_flatpak_repo ~/Gajim/gajim_flatpak ~/Gajim/flatpak/org.gajim.Gajim.yaml
flatpak --user remote-add --no-gpg-verify gajim_flatpak_repo gajim_flatpak_repo
flatpak --user install gajim_flatpak_repo org.gajim.Gajim
flatpak run org.gajim.Gajim
Thats it, you are now running Gajim via Flatpak!
How to update
Update Gajim's sources
In this example, we use git

git pull --rebase
Remove previous Flatpak directory
rm -r ~/Gajim/gajim_flatpak
Install and update Gajim
flatpak-builder --repo=gajim_flatpak_repo ~/Gajim/gajim_flatpak ~/Gajim/flatpak/org.gajim.Gajim.yaml
