Linux Mint 17.x users (64 bit and 32-bit) can still use the previous qTox versions linked earlier in this post. In the meantime, here are download links for "qTox" version 1.15.0 for Linux Mint 19.x and 18.x, for 64-bit only. I tried and I could not compile the newer qTox from their source code under Linux Mint 17.x.įYI: From what I have read, the developers are working on updating their repository and will have AppImage and Flatpak options coming in the near future. I think when they create a new AppImage option for newer versions of qTox, that it will also run on Linux Mint 17.x and provide users with newer versions, but they are still working on that.

I have tested these myself.Ħ4-bit Stable Qtox deb file, save and double click to install.ģ2-bit Stable Qtox deb file, save and double click to install.įYI: I do not see any new versions for Linux Mint 17.x based on Ubuntu 14.04, but Linux Mint users can still install qTox v1.6 using the links I provided. The new "nightly" (version 1.13) that is there does work for Ubuntu 16.04 = Linux Mint 18.x (64-bit and 32-bit). They are still working on setting up this new repository the way they want it. I purposely did not provide the new download links until they said it was okay to do so, but since you found their new repository, see the links below.

And within the past few days, they have just created a new repository for qTox using the same excellent "openSUSE" OBS software packaging website that the previous repository maintainer used, only under a different repository name of course. I have been speaking with the developers and contributors of qTox. They are looking for a new repository maintainer, once they have one up and running, it will provide deb files again. One of the problems is that "OBS" Open Build System which held wonderful options for this, like the Ubuntu (Linux Mint) deb files and a repository has closed. It is light on system resources and just works great. "qTox" is my favorite secure multi-media messenger (text, voice, video) and Skype alternative.
In the meantime, read the quote box below to install qTox for Linux Mint 18.x and 19.x. I have been on their developers GitHub website to find out when a new fully functioning working repository (software source) will be up and running, and when I know, I will post that here. People who use superb secure multi-media messenger qTox (Qtox), a great alternative to Skype, or are Interested in installing this, may have noticed that within the past year the previous software repositories and or installation instructions may not be working.
