This is a basic terminal-based client for the MatterMost chat system.
The easiest way to build it is to use the provided install.sh
script, which requires git and an appropriate ghc/cabal
installation. It will pull the appropriate repos and build the sandbox
in the appropriate way.
If you want to, you can also run the install process manually.
You'll need both the matterhorn repo and the mattermost-api repo,
neither of which are currently in Hackage. Clone both of them to
an appropriate place:
$ git clone git@github.com:matterhorn-chat/mattermost-api.git
$ git clone git@github.com:matterhorn-chat/matterhorn.git
Move into the matterhorn directory, create a new sandbox, add
the mattermost-api package as an extra dependency, install the
dependencies, and build the package:
$ cd matterhorn
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal sandbox add-source ../mattermost-api
$ cabal install
$ cabal build
Right now, configuration is manual. An example configuration file
can be found at sample-config.ini. Matterhorn will prefer
config.ini in the current working directory, but will look in
the typical XDG configuration directories (you'll probably want to
use $HOME/.config/matterhorn/config.ini) and as a last resort look
for a globally-accessible /etc/matterhorn/config.ini.
You can often use built-in keybindings or /cmd-style commands. To
see available keybindings and commands, press F1 or run the /help
command.
