Eko Messenger

An E2EE messaging application.

Installation

Linux (x86/64)

Using Nix (Recommended)

Prerequisites

1. Install Nix with flakes enabled.

2. (Optional) Configure Cachix for faster builds:

   To avoid rebuilding dependencies from source, you can use the Eko Network binary cache.

   For non-NixOS users, add to your ~/.config/nix/nix.conf (create if it doesn't exist):

   extra-substituters = https://eko-network.cachix.org
   extra-trusted-public-keys = eko-network.cachix.org-1:1xHfovoNlydsTCzXxr5AstUoJUmGR/tRq0PQSCyPab8=
   

   For NixOS users, add to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

   nix.settings = {
     extra-substituters = [
       "https://eko-network.cachix.org"
     ];
     extra-trusted-public-keys = [
       "eko-network.cachix.org-1:1xHfovoNlydsTCzXxr5AstUoJUmGR/tRq0PQSCyPab8="
     ];
   };

   Then rebuild your system.
