Sailfish OS

Installation

Prepare

The installation script is available at https://github.com/Kaffeine/sailfish-settings-accounts-extensions-telegram/blob/master/scripts/telegram-qt-tool, so you can do

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TelepathyIM/sailfish-settings-accounts-extensions-telegram/master-staging/tools/telegram-qt-tool
chmod +x telegram-qt-tool

to download and prepare it.

Install/update:

Use a privileged command line to install or update telepathy-morse:

devel-su -p
./telegram-qt-tool --install devel

Sources

Besides to the usual pair of TelegramQt and Telepathy-Morse, there is also a repo with Telegram settings page. To improve the UX it is strongly recommended to also use my custom (to be upstreamed yet) commhistory-daemon

Builds
