Does any of you use a Whatsapp Linux client?

Hello folks,

I am wondering if any of you use an accessible Linux client for 
Whatsapp. What is the best way of using Whatsapp on Linux if no 
accessible client is available?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ibrahim

Hi,


I'm using whatsapp web for communication. It works well with orca.

The missing feature is voice and video call. But we have our phone for that.

Hi Ibrahim,

Off topic but still...
I Slint we ship:
ncTelegram https://github.com/Nanoseb/ncTelegram
Telegram Desktop (I just realized that we have two menu entries ???)
telegram-cli https://github.com/vysheng/tg
telegram-purple (plug-in for pidgin) 
https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple (maybe switch to tdlib-purple)

All this in addition to Telegram WEB and Telegram on your phone.

Juts saying...

Cheers,
Didier

Hi, in addition:

dance[~]$ LANG=C spi whatsapp
Available packages:
None

Available SlackBuilds:
pidgin-whatsapp [Not installed]: pidgin-whatsapp (WhatsApp Plugin for 
Pidgin)
purple-gowhatsapp [Not installed]: purple-gowhatsapp (libpurple/Pidgin 
plugin for WhatsApp Web)
dance[~]$

To build and install, as root:
slapt-src -i pidgin-whatsapp
or
slapt-src -i purple-gowhatsapp

Caveat I didn't use these apps, not using Whatsapp so not having an account.

Cheers,
Didier

Hi,

I've not used it, but Debian packages a command line client in the 
yowsup-cli package.  It uses a Python library called yowsup.

Home page: https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup

HTH,
Geoff.

Thanks Didier,

I tried to install with both methods but I got a message that reads:

failed to open slackbuilds-data for reading. Unable to find all 
specified slackbuilds.


May be I need to download packages from somewhere? Cheers,

Ibrahim

I also noticed that there are two menu entries for telegram.? I am not a 
user of telegram, but out of curiousity I clicked on both to see what 
options do I get, and I could not find any options or menus or 
instructions to use.

Cheers,


Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,

When using slapt-src the packages are built on your machine from scripts 
available at https://slackbuilds.org.

For that you need to first type as root:
slapt-src -u
or
slapt-src --update

This will update the local cache of the remote slackbuilds, writing the 
file:
/tmp/slapt-src/slackbuilds-data

To know more:
slapt-src --help
man slapt-src
https://slint.fr/doc/HandBook.html#software_management
and more specifically:
https://slint.fr/doc/HandBook.html#slapt_src

Cheers,
Didier
