[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mujx/nheko.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mujx/nheko) [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/07qrqbfylsg4hw2h/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mujx/nheko/branch/master) [![Translation Status](https://translate.nordgedanken.de/widgets/nheko/-/shields-badge.svg)](https://translate.nordgedanken.de/projects/nheko/nheko/)
The motivation behind the project is to provide a native desktop app for [Matrix] that
feels more like a mainstream chat app ([Riot], Telegram etc) and less like an IRC client.
Join the discussion on Matrix [#nheko:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#nheko:matrix.org).
### Features
Most of the features you'd expect from a chat application are missing right now
but you can of course receive and send messages in the rooms that you are a member of.
### Installation
#### Arch Linux
```bash
$ pacaur -S nheko-git
```
#### Gentoo Linux
```bash
$ sudo layman -a matrix
$ sudo emerge -a nheko
```
#### Windows
You can find a NSIS installer [here](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mujx/nheko/branch/master/artifacts).
### Build Requirements
- Qt5 (5.7 or greater). Qt 5.7 adds support for color font rendering with
Freetype, which is essential to properly support emoji.
- CMake 3.1 or greater.
- A compiler that supports C++11.
- Clang 3.3 (or greater).
- GCC 4.8 (or greater).
##### Arch Linux
```bash
$ sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-tools cmake gcc fontconfig
```
##### Gentoo Linux
```bash
$ sudo emerge -a ">=dev-qt/qtgui-5.7.1" media-libs/fontconfig
```
##### Ubuntu 14.04
```bash
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt58-trusty
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install qt58base qt58tools cmake
```
##### OSX (Xcode 7 or later)
```bash
$ brew update
$ brew install qt5
```
N.B. you will need to pass `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt5`
to cmake to point it at your qt5 install (tweaking the path as needed)
### Building
```bash
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release # Default is Debug.
make -C build
```
The `nheko` binary will be located in the `build` directory.
### Contributing
Any kind of contribution to the project is greatly appreciated. You are also
encouraged to open feature request issues.
### Screens
Here is a screen shot to get a feel for the UI, but things will probably change.
