## About this repo: archive of Gajim 0.16.9 and plugins zip.
--------------------
Welcome to Gajim and thank you for trying out our client.
Runtime Requirements
--------------------
* python2.5 or higher
* pygtk2.22 or higher
* python-nbxmpp
Optional Runtime Requirements
-----------------------------
* [PyOpenSSL](http://pyopenssl.sourceforge.net/) (python-pyopenssl package in Debian) (>=0.12) for _secure_ SSL/TLS. Python's default SSL is insecure, so this package is highly recommended!
* python-pyasn1 to check SSL/TLS certificate
* python-crypto to enable End to end encryption
* python-gnupg to enable GPG encryption
* For idle module, libxss library
* For zeroconf (bonjour), the "enable link-local messaging" checkbox, you need dbus-glib, python-avahi
* dnsutils (or whatever package provides the nslookup binary) for SRV support
* gtkspell and aspell-LANG where lang is your locale eg. en, fr etc
* gnome-python-desktop (for GnomeKeyring support as password storage)
* kwalletcli (for support of KDE Wallet as password storage)
* notification-daemon or notify-python (and D-Bus) to get cooler popups
* 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.
* python-dbus bindings (>=0.81)
* python-kerberos to use GSSAPI authentification. Note: version1.1 or higher is required
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.
Compile-time Requirements
-------------------------
* intltool (>= 0.40.1)
**NOTE:** If you still have problems compiling, you may want to try removing the gtk1 series of the above dependencies.
Installation Procedure
----------------------
1. tar jxvf gajim-version.tar.bz2
2. cd gajim
3. ./configure
4. make (builds translations)
5. su -c make install
To specify where to install do:
./configure --prefix=custom\_path
Running Gajim
-------------
Just do _gajim_ or you can run Gajim from your GNOME/Xfce/KDE/whatever menus.
or if you use hg version and you didn't 'make install' you can also run from gajim folder with_./launch.sh_
* * *
### Note for hg users
You will need GNU autotools in order to install Gajim from svn. This includes:
* automake >= 1.8
* autoconf >= 2.59
* libtool
* intltool-0.40.1
* pkgconfig >= 0.19
steps to compile gajim:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
Alternatively, if you don't want to install all these packages, you can get a nightly snapshot from [here](http://www.gajim.org/downloads/snap/) and procede as usual:
$ ./configure
$ make
Uninstallation Procedure
------------------------
su -c make uninstall
this will try to remove Gajim from the default directories. If you want to remove it from custom directory provide it as:
./configure --prefix=custom\_path
make uninstall
Miscellaneous
-------------
### XML & Debugging
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.
