|
For all the work we've put into Tox so far, there isn't yet a decent
|
|
|
|
guide for how you *use* Tox. Here's a user-friendly attempt at it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Connect to the network!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You need to connect to a bootstrapping server, to give you a
|
|
|
|
public key.
|
|
|
|
- Where can I find a public server? Right here, as of now: (the help
|
|
|
|
message from running ``nTox`` with no args will help)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``198.46.136.167 33445 728925473812C7AAC482BE7250BCCAD0B8CB9F737BF3D42ABD34459C1768F854``
|
|
|
|
- ``192.81.133.111 33445 8CD5A9BF0A6CE358BA36F7A653F99FA6B258FF756E490F52C1F98CC420F78858``
|
|
|
|
- ``66.175.223.88 33445 AC4112C975240CAD260BB2FCD134266521FAAF0A5D159C5FD3201196191E4F5D``
|
|
|
|
- ``192.184.81.118 33445 5CD7EB176C19A2FD840406CD56177BB8E75587BB366F7BB3004B19E3EDC04143``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Find a friend!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Now that you're on the network, you need a friend. To get one of
|
|
|
|
those, you need to to send or receive a request. What's a request,
|
|
|
|
you ask? It's like a friend request, but we use really scary and
|
|
|
|
cryptic numbers instead of names. When ``nTox`` starts, it shows
|
|
|
|
*your* long, scary number, called your *public key*. Give that to
|
|
|
|
people, and they can add you as a "friend". Or, you can add
|
|
|
|
someone else, with the ``/f`` command, if you like.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Chat it up!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Now use the ``/m`` command to send a message to someone. Wow,
|
|
|
|
you're chatting!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. But something broke!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Yeah, pre-alpha-alpha software tends to do that. We're working on
|
|
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
- Please report all crashes to either the GitHub page, or
|
|
|
|
``#tox-dev`` on freenode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Nothing broke, but what does ``/f`` mean?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ``nTox`` parses text as a command if the first character is a
|
|
|
|
forward-slash (``/``). You can check all commands in commands.md.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Use and support Tox!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Code for us, debug for us, document for us, translate for us, even
|
|
|
|
just talk about us!
|
|
|
|
- The more interest we get, the more work gets done, the better Tox
|
|
|
|
is.
