Binaries

This page contains links to the most recently built binaries for each Tox client. Keep in mind that these clients are alpha software under heavy development, and are probably not ready for day-to-day use. Because of how significantly the code is still changing, a professional audit hasn't yet been started. You will probably run into various usability bugs, and may even encounter dangerous security vulnerabilities.

That having been said, hundreds of people around the world have devoted time, effort, and resources to the project in an effort to make Tox as secure as possible. While open source projects are not immune to serious longstanding security vulnerabilities, their threat is greatly reduced, as the code is open for anyone to review. Over time, as Tox gets closer to being stable, a proper security audit will be conducted, and the code will be checked thoroughly for any possible security concerns.

To help improve the software, and benefit the community as a whole, please report the bugs you find to the appropriate maintainer. You can find out more about each client (such as who the current maintainer is), by visiting its wiki page in the clients namespace.

For more information about what Tox is and isn't capable of, please refer to our FAQ (and read the warning at the top of the page especially).

Thank you for your understanding, and happy testing!

Subliun has ported antox to tox4j the new toxcore java wrapper. Antox is actively maintained.

coming soon

See Antidote.

You may need to remove old repository before adding current one.

To add current repository:

echo "deb https://pkg.tox.chat/debian nightly release" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tox.list
wget -qO - https://pkg.tox.chat/debian/pkg.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update

And to install e.g. qTox:

sudo apt-get install qtox

or, if you have Ubuntu with Unity environment:

sudo apt-get install qtox-unity

The Tox overlay is now in the official layman list.

To add it:

layman -a tox-overlay

Many Tox related packages exist in the AUR. However, if you have an issue with Tox and you installed Tox using the AUR packages, please compile that package from source before filing a bug report. If the issue appears to be on the Arch maintainers side (eg: compiles from source fine, but the PKGBUILD fails), please contact the package maintainer and let them know!

Alternatively, you could use supported PKGBUILDs.

qTox binaries built against Qt 5.4.2 are provided as an alternative to anyone experiencing issues introduced by Qt 5.5.0's regressions.

* it's preferable to use uTox from the Windows section, since the ones provided here don't come with an updater.
