###### Recording of v1.0.0
2021-11-01 19:11:52 +03:00
Amfora aims to be the best looking [Gemini](https://geminiquickst.art/) client with the most features... all in the terminal. It does not support Gopher or other non-Web protocols - check out [Bombadillo](http://bombadillo.colorfield.space/) for that.
2020-06-19 00:23:54 +03:00
It also aims to be completely cross platform, with full Windows support. If you're on Windows, I would not recommend using the default terminal software. Use [Windows Terminal](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701) instead, and make sure it [works with UTF-8](https://akr.am/blog/posts/using-utf-8-in-the-windows-terminal). Note that some of the application colors might not display correctly on Windows, but all functionality will still work.

2020-12-15 22:35:43 +03:00
It fully passes Sean Conman's client torture test, as well as the Egsam one.

## Project Status
Amfora is in maintenance mode. When possible, Ill make/merge bug fixes, and maybe slowly merge feature PRs by others. See my [blog post](https://www.makeworld.space/2023/08/bye_gemini.html) for details.

## Installation
### Binary
2020-12-15 22:35:43 +03:00
Download a binary from the [releases](https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/releases) page. On Unix-based systems you will have to make the file executable with `chmod +x <filename>`. You can rename the file to just `amfora` for easy access, and move it to `/usr/local/bin/`.
2020-06-27 23:41:13 +03:00
On Windows, make sure you click "Advanced > Run anyway" after double-clicking, or something like that.
Unix systems can install the desktop entry file to get Amfora to appear when they search for applications:
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora/master/amfora.desktop -o ~/.local/share/applications/amfora.desktop
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
```
2020-06-19 02:25:08 +03:00
2020-12-15 22:35:43 +03:00
Make sure to click "Watch" in the top right, then "Custom" > "Releases" to get notified about new releases!
2021-05-01 19:45:21 +03:00
### Linux
<a href="https://repology.org/project/amfora/versions">
<img src="https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/amfora.svg" alt="Packaging status" align="right">
</a>
2021-04-07 01:07:25 +03:00
Amfora is packaged in many Linux distros. It's also on [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/) for Windows users.
### macOS (Homebrew)
2020-08-04 18:14:32 +03:00
If you use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), you can install Amfora with:
2020-08-04 18:14:32 +03:00
```
2020-09-15 20:54:32 +03:00
brew install amfora
2020-08-04 18:14:32 +03:00
```
You can update it with:
```
brew upgrade amfora
```
### macOS (MacPorts)
On macOS, Amfora can also be installed through [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org):
```
sudo port install amfora
```
You can update it with:
```
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade amfora
```
**NOTE:** this installation source is community-maintained. More information [here](https://ports.macports.org/port/amfora/).
2021-05-01 19:45:21 +03:00
### Termux
2021-04-07 00:52:28 +03:00
If you're using [Termux](https://termux.com/) on Android you can't just run Amfora like normal. After installing Amfora, run `pkg install proot`. Then run `termux-chroot` before running the Amfora binary. You can exit out of the chroot after closing Amfora. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/38959067/7361270) for why this is needed.
### From Source
2020-12-01 18:52:06 +03:00
2020-12-15 22:35:43 +03:00
This section is for advanced users who want to install the latest (possibly unstable) version of Amfora.

**Requirements:**
- Go 1.15 or later
2020-09-21 00:33:45 +03:00
- GNU Make
2020-09-21 00:33:45 +03:00
Please note the Makefile does not intend to support Windows, and so there may be issues.
2020-09-02 20:02:40 +03:00
```shell
2020-09-02 18:05:14 +03:00
git clone https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora
cd amfora
2020-09-02 21:06:38 +03:00
# git checkout v1.2.3 # Optionally pin to a specific version instead of the latest commit
2020-09-21 00:33:45 +03:00
make # Might be gmake on macOS
sudo make install # If you want to install the binary for all users
```
2020-09-02 18:05:14 +03:00
Because you installed with the Makefile, running `amfora -v` will tell you exactly what commit the binary was built from.
Arch Linux users can also install the latest commit of Amfora from the AUR. It has the package name `amfora-git`, and is maintained by @lovetocode999
```
yay -S amfora-git
```
2020-09-21 00:33:45 +03:00
MacOS users can also use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) to install the latest commit of Amfora:
```
brew install --HEAD amfora
```
You can update it with:
```
brew upgrade --fetch-HEAD amfora
```
