Installer requires admin access. Should support local install.

So frustrated trying to use it.

  1. it insists on installing as root. I say NO! and give it a local directory to install into.
  2. It downloads the file for 5 minutes, then uncompresses them for a few minutes, and then tries to add an icon to the desktop (without permission). It can do this, so up pops an abort message with some buttons, the default is abort. If you happen to be typing when this message comes up, it aborts before you can even read the message.
  3. It offers a command to use to run the software (perfect!), so I use that. and it then deletes the installation directory.

Try to install from github,

  1. insists on qt6 install (why? WTF does chat software have to do with qt?) So have to install that.
  2. Can't find quick and won't compile
  3. link provided for download, doesn't actually go to downloadable files. (never didi find them).
