 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-Toxic was originally [[https://github.com/Tox/toxic/commit/1974fa23d21bedb672f1c0d77dfa85f73037f5c1|written]] by Plutooo in the experimental branch of ProjectTox on July 29, 2013. Following Plutooo's disappearance soon after his initial commit, Jfreegman took over leadership and continued Toxic's development. Although extremely buggy and lacking in basic features in its initial state, rapid development by the Tox community made it the first 'usable' Tox client, and it soon superseded [[nTox]] as the reference CLI client. Toxic was initially part of the toxcore repository, but was [[https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/commit/c759967ad403a22b5baa729f9b6b395f9c766cd4|moved]] to its own github repository as a stand-alone project on August 23, 2013.+Toxic was originally [[https://github.com/Jfreegman/toxic/commit/1974fa23d21bedb672f1c0d77dfa85f73037f5c1|written]] by Plutooo in the experimental branch of ProjectTox on July 29, 2013.

For debian-based systems (Ubuntu, Mint etc.) use the command ''apt-get install toxic'' or ''apt-get install toxic-no-x11'' to install the fully featured and bare-bones versions of toxic respectively. This is not the recommended way to install Toxic, as most repositories serve very old versions of Toxic that lack the latest features and bug fixes.
