Help to install Signal-cli

[monchito]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use signal-cli: https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli

But i'm stuck with this

Code: Select all

signal-cli -u +<number> register

Code: Select all

WARN ServiceConfig - Failed to call libsignal-client: /tmp/resource2456081240763878777.so: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/resource2456081240763878777.so)
Missing required native library dependency: libsignal-client

To fix i try to install gradle, but i get lost. Some can throw me a rope.

Thanks

You do not need to install gradle, this would only be required if you want to compile the code yourself.

The error says that you do not have libsignal-client installed on your system. The github link that you included shows how you can download it, because it's not available by default in Mint 20 (I have searched the package repository for "libsignal" and "libsignal-client" is not listed).

However, given that Signal is a secure messaging platform, do you really want to trust an unofficial client? If you need it for the command line interface to send/receive messages, then feel free to ignore this point.

If you just want access from your PC, the official client's installation instructions are at https://signal.org/download/linux/

Men, thanks for reply , i searching information about security on signal-cli and i not found something interesting, maybe you are right.

I really glad to use signal in CLI interface, but i conform with the desktop version.

Thanks.
