Hello Linux Geeksters.
In this article I will show you how to install FBMessenger on the most popular Linux operating systems. FBMessenger is not an official facebook messenger, but it was created by a facebook developer.
If you turn on the chat in Facebook and them log in using FBMessenger, the app does not make you online/visible, like Pidgin or Emphaty do.
- python3
- PyQt4
- phonon
This is how you install FBMessenger on Linux Operating Systems:
Step 1. Install the dependencies:
On Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian:
$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools, python3-setuptools, python-qt4-phonon, python-qt4-phonon, python3-pyqt4.phonon
On Fedora, and CentOS:
$ sudo yum install python-setuptools, python3-setuptools, python-qt4-phonon, python-qt4-phonon, python3-pyqt4.phonon
On OpenSUSE:
$ sudo zypper install python-setuptools, python3-setuptools, python-qt4-phonon, python-qt4-phonon, python3-pyqt4.phonon
Step 2. Download the archive:

Step 3. Unzip the archive and cd into it:

This is it. Enjoy your chatting.
