Packages

Linux

For developement, or if none of the package options are satisfying,
see manual installation.
Packages other than the Flatpak are not maintained by the Moment
authors, and thus might be outdated.

Flatpak

Moment is also available as a Flatpak.

1. Download the Moment Flatpak from
   Flathub. Alternatively,
   you can issue the following commands in a terminal:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists \
    flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak install flathub xyz.mx_moment.moment

flatpak run xyz.mx_moment.moment

2. If your operating system doesn't already have built-in support for Flatpaks,
   follow these instructions to install Flatpak
   support on your system.

Configuration migration

Note that automatic migration of data from Mirage is not supported when using
Flatpak. If you would like to manually migrate your logins, encryption keys,
configuration and themes from Mirage, you can do it like so:

Migration from Mirage's Flatpak

Issue the following commands:

$ mkdir -p ~/.var/app/xyz.mx_moment.moment/{config,data}
$ cd ~/.var/app
$ cp -r io.github.mirukana.mirage/config/mirage/* xyz.mx_moment.moment/config/moment
$ cp -r io.github.mirukana.mirage/data/mirage/* xyz.mx_moment.moment/data/moment

Migration from a distribution package

Issue the following commands:

$ mkdir -p ~/.var/app/xyz.mx_moment.moment/{config,data}
$ cd ~/.var/app

If you are on Debian, replace mirage with mirage-matrix in the following
commands:

$ cp -r ~/.config/mirage/* xyz.mx_moment.moment/config/moment
$ cp -r ~/.local/share/mirage/* xyz.mx_moment.moment/data/moment

Alpine Linux / postmarketOS

If you are on the Edge channel of Alpine Linux or postmarketOS, Moment can be
installed right from the testing repositry:

apk add moment

If you are unsure about what Edge is and want to read more about it, you can do
so on the Alpine Wiki.

Arch Linux

AUR packages for the
latest stable release and
git main branch are
available.

Installing the release version with an AUR helper, e.g.
yay:

yay -S moment

Manual Installation

Qt 5.12+, Python 3.6+ (with pip to install packages from the
requirements.txt), PyOtherSide 1.5+ and
libolm 3+ are required.
The equivalent -dev or -devel packages are needed, if your distro
splits development headers into their own packages.

To enable X11-specific features on Linux,
libX11 and libXScrnSaver / libXss are needed.
The requirements can be disabled by adding CONFIG+=no-x11 to the
qmake moment.pro command.

For the Pillow Python package, these dependencies are recommended to support
all common image formats:

• libjpeg-turbo
• zlib
• libtiff
• libwebp
• openjpeg2

libmediainfo is also required for the pymediainfo package.

Environment Variables

To ensure Qt 5 will be used by default, compile using all CPU cores and
optimize the build for your machine:

export QT_SELECT=5
export MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
export CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

Installing PyOtherSide Manually

Skip this section if you already installed it from your
distro's package manager.

git clone https://github.com/thp/pyotherside
cd pyotherside
make clean
qmake
make
sudo make install

Installing libolm Manually

Skip this section if you already installed it from your
distro's package manager.

git clone https://gitlab.matrix.org/matrix-org/olm/
cd olm
cmake . -Bbuild
cmake --build build
sudo make install

Installing or updating Moment

After following the above sections instructions depending on your system;
clone the repository, initalize the submodules,
install the python dependencies, compile and install:

git clone https://gitlab.com/mx-moment/moment
cd moment

git pull
git submodule update --init submodules/*
pip3 install --user -Ur requirements.txt

qmake moment.pro
make
sudo make install

To compile without the X11-specific dependencies and features on Linux,
run qmake moment.pro CONFIG+=no-x11 instead of qmake moment.pro.

If everything went fine, run moment to start.

Common Issues

cffi version mismatch

When installing the python dependencies, if you get a version mismatch error
related to cffi, try:

pip3 install --user --upgrade --force-reinstall cffi

Type XYZ unavailable

If the application exits without showing any window and you get a terminal
message like this:

file:///.../src/gui/Window.qml:83:5: Type PythonRootBridge unavailable

then a QML component/type failed to import due to either a missing
dependency or a programming error.
If the type has Python in its name, ensure PyOtherSide is correctly
installed. You should see a similar message:

Got library name:  "/usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/libpyothersideplugin.so"

To ensure the correct permissions are set for the PyOtherSide plugin files:

sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io
sudo chmod 644 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/qt5/qml/io/thp/pyotherside/*.so

Note that the Qt lib path might be /usr/lib/qt/ instead of /usr/lib/qt5/,
depending on the distro.
