Static Binary

If you wish to use the static binary simply download this file.

Build from source

c-toxcore:

• install dependencies listed here: https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#requirements
• git clone https://github.com/jfreegman/toxcore
• cd toxcore
• mkdir _build && cd _build
• cmake -DUSE_TEST_NETWORK=ON ..
• cmake --build . && sudo make install

toxic:

• Install dependencies marked as BASE listed here: https://github.com/JFreegman/toxic/blob/master/INSTALL.md#dependencies
• git clone https://github.com/jfreegman/toxic
• cd toxic
• git checkout -b tcp_new_groupchats
• git pull origin tcp_new_groupchats
• rm ~/.config/tox/DHTnodes.json
• make && sudo make install

Joining the group

Note: You will need to create a new toxic profile and make sure that you don't use it on the mainnet

Once toxic is running you can join the Offical Test Group™ with the command:/join 4EACCA789FE78054E7EF28D6866771819D0849E6B9BEC4253E876903A4868236

Important: You should not run simultaneous instances of tox for both the mainnet and the testnet (but if you do, run toxic with the -L option to disable LAN). You should also try not to cross-contaminate profiles. Keep the two networks as isolated as possible.
