The big file is .deb and then the files inside are .xz
You can install gdebi on your laptop and then do gdebi yourfile.deb to install it
To install gdebi
sudo apt install gdebi
Just ran this 27% progress
run this after you install gdebi
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
this is to install Rust
Doing that now! Tried running it and found out I needed to also install curl! All this for a nostr client 😅 - but I just set this laptop up fresh with nothing installed really, so I think these are pretty common things to install
Godspeed, mads 🤣
💯 once the install is completed, close the terminal and re-open it (to refresh environment variables). And then try running
gdebi yourfile.deb
Thank you! So I need to run - gdebi gossip_0.5.2etc etc etc? (Will copy and paste the whole file name
Go the folder where the file is located
in the terminal, and then sudo gdebi gossip (click on tab now it will autocomplete automatically) and then run the command
Did it! And now still don’t know how to open gossip lol
Great ! You will find gossip now with your applications in the launcher
Is the launcher the thing that opens when you click the little cube of squares?
Exactly ! 💯
So the only new thing there is something called gdebi package installer, which I can open and pull up info about gossip, but not actually use gossip
You should normally see a gossip icon there, that you can click to access Gossip.
Are you sure the install was completed correctly ?
You downloaded one of the .deb files that were here :
Don’t know what I did, but I seem to have gotten it!
That’s great ! You will love gossip !
Simple but does the job perfectly, with a lot of control over the relays
Next time I can show you how to compile it directly on your terminal, so that you can have the latest features !
Does it take a long time to pull overwrite? Added some relays and logged in, but can’t seem to get anything else to load
Normally it does not take a lot of time to load, did you setup your private key first ?
(Click in the Help tab, there is a detailed explanation on the steps to follow)
Yep! Read that and did that
So you are seeing the feed ? But not the data in the “followed” section ?
Nothing is on the feed except a post I attempted to make, that I don’t actually see on any other clients
Click on relay - Configure - select a few ones there, do you see a relay that connected lately (in the last connected column)
Yes I have 9 relays but they haven’t connected in 10 min
Did you select read/write ? (Sorry if my questions are a bit simplistic, I’m trying to understand the situation)
Keep getting this error 
(Don’t worry, I am running it in terminal & not telegram, just sent it there so I could post it easier)
I know 😂 click on this link and copy paste the command in your terminal (maybe there was some weird character in the cmd I sent ealier)
How did you install curl?
Using sudo apt-get install curl ? or
sudo snap install curl?
The second - aka the wrong one - uninstalling and doing the apt one!
Curl fixed and rust installing now 🙏
Ah, you'll get sooo used to typing sudo apt-get install 😅
I 💙 Ubuntu. Which version do you have?
Impish Indri?
Focal Fossa?
Jammy Jellyfish?
You need a lightning address connected to your profile!
I'm not ready for that yet 😬
Oh yes! You can use a super simple wallet on your phone like wallet of satoshi! Please try it so I can send you sats for your help!
If you’re on Ubuntu you could do
sudo apt install path_to_deb_file
