Installation
Instructions and releases are currently only available for Linux,
but compiling on Windows and macOS should be possible with the right tools.

- Manual installation
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authors, and thus might be outdated.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.
- 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
- 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"
Package Manager Dependencies
Alpine Linux 3.9+ / apk
PyOtherSide and
libolm must be manually installed.
sudo apk add qt5-qtquickcontrols2-dev qt5-qtsvg-dev qt5-qtimageformats \

Arch Linux / pacman & AUR
libolm is from the AUR, this example uses
yay to install it like other packages.
Alternatively, you can just use pacman and
install libolm manually.

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.
