Franz/Rambox style communication app

Maybe I do not have enough knowledge, but I do not see any Linux ARM package on that Ferdi site neither I know what to do with those PKGBUILD files. Can you please guide me a little? Thank you!

There is a thread on this forum called "Manjaro and Arch repository with privacy oriented software" at https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9452

It links to this site https://privacyshark.zero-credibility.net/#howto
set up the repository like it shows and then you can just install ferdi-git with pacman.

The other way is to clone the sources of the same repo from https://gitlab.com/ohfp/pinebookpro-things
and then run makepkg in the folder of the app you want then install the package file with pacman -U

I see, so I have to have Manjaro to install it? What if I use Ubuntu?

We do have Rambox and Franz Pkgbuild provided by one of the Manjaro community member. I use Rambox/hamsket on my PinebookPro.

For Ubuntu you will have to build it yourself, you can refer to the pkgbuild

Is somebody able to build that Ubuntu package?
