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!

See Antidote.

Our apt repository contains packages for both Debian and Ubuntu, as well as statically-compiled packages that should function on any other distro using apt as its package manager.

If you were a user of either of our previous debian repositories, please remove the keys you installed before continuing. See the apt-key man page for more detail.

To be able to install packages from this repository, run the following in your shell. Be sure to replace “$CODENAME” with the release codename of your distribution (jessie, stretch or sid for Debian and trusty or vivid for Ubuntu). If you use another Debian-based distribution like Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty or Elementary OS, just replace “$CODENAME” by “release”

Warning - at this time we do not have packages for trusty - you shall have to use the generic “release” codename. We currently only support sid, jessie, stretch, vivid and wily. Use the statically linked releases at your own discretion.

echo "deb https://pkg.tox.chat/debian nightly $CODENAME" | 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

The Tox overlay is now in the official layman list.

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.
