Build from source

Clone the Halloy GitHub repository into a directory of your choice and build with cargo.

Requirements:

• Rust toolchain
• Git version control system
• Packages:
  • Fedora-based distributions: alsa-lib-devel openssl-devel libxcb-devel
  • Debian-based distributions: librust-alsa-sys-dev libssl-dev libxcb1-dev

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/squidowl/halloy.git

cd halloy

# Build and run
cargo build --release
cargo run --release

Install from Source

The script install-linux.sh in the scripts directory of the Halloy repository will build and install Halloy on Linux systems (with the same requirements as building from source). By default the script will install Halloy in the ~/.local/ base directory (i.e. the executable will be put in ~/.local/bin/). To change the installation base directory, provide install-linux.sh with the long flag .

git clone https://github.com/squidowl/halloy.git

cd halloy

./scripts/install-linux.sh --prefix=<base/directory>
