## Downloads
You can download precompiled binaries from [jenkins](https://jenkins.libtoxcore.so):
* [Linux (packages)](https://wiki.tox.im/Binaries#Linux)
* [Linux 32 bit](https://jenkins.libtoxcore.so/job/toxic_linux_i386/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/toxic_linux_i386.tar.xz)
* [Linux 64 bit](https://jenkins.libtoxcore.so/job/toxic_linux_amd64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/toxic_linux_amd64.tar.xz)
## Installation
[Compiling](/INSTALL.md)
### Dependencies
##### Base
* [libtoxcore](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore)
* [ncurses](https://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses) (for Debian based systems, 'libncursesw5-dev')
* [libconfig](http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig) (for Debian based systems, 'libconfig-dev')
## Settings
Running Toxic for the first time creates an empty file called toxic.conf in your home configuration directory ("~/.config/tox" for Linux users). Adding options to this file allows you to enable auto-logging, change the time format (12/24 hour), and much more.
You can view our example config file [here](misc/toxic.conf.example).
##### Audio
* libtoxav ([libtoxcore](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore) compiled with audio support)
* [openal](http://openal.org) (for Debian based systems, 'libopenal-dev')
##### Sound notifications
* [openal](http://openal.org) (for Debian based systems, 'libopenal-dev')
* [openalut](http://openal.org) (for Debian based systems, 'libalut-dev')
##### Desktop notifications
* [libnotify](https://developer.gnome.org/libnotify) (for Debian based systems, 'libnotify-dev')
##### Documentation
* [Asciidoc](http://asciidoc.org/index.html) (only required for regenerating manpages)
* Run `make doc` in the build directory after editing the asciidoc files to regenerate the manpages.
* **NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS**: asciidoc files and generated manpages will need to be commited together.
### Compiling
1. `cd build/`
2. `make PREFIX="/where/to/install"`
3. `sudo make install PREFIX="/where/to/install"`
### Compilation Notes
* You can add specific flags to the Makefile with `USER_CFLAGS=""` and/or `USER_LDFLAGS=""`
* You can pass your own flags to the Makefile with `CFLAGS=""` and/or `LDFLAGS=""` (this will supersede the default ones)
* Additional features are automatically enabled if all dependencies are found, but you can disable them by using special variables:
* `DISABLE_X11=1` → build toxic without X11 support (needed for focus tracking)
* `DISABLE_AV=1` → build toxic without audio call support
* `DISABLE_SOUND_NOTIFY=1` → build toxic without sound notifications support
* `DISABLE_DESKTOP_NOTIFY=1` → build toxic without desktop notifications support
### OS X Compile
Using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh): `brew install openal-soft freealut libconfig && brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tox/homebrew-tox/master/Formula/libtoxcore.rb && brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-x11/master/libnotify.rb`.
You can omit `libnotify` if you intend to build without desktop notifications enabled.
### Packaging
* For packaging purpose, you can use `DESTDIR=""` to specify a directory where to store installed files
* `DESTDIR=""` can be used in addition to `PREFIX=""`:
* `DESTDIR=""` is meant to specify a directory where to store installed files (ex: "/tmp/build/pkg")
* `PREFIX=""` is meant to specify a prefix directory for binaries and data files (ex: "/usr/local")
### Troubleshooting
## Troubleshooting
If your default prefix is "/usr/local" and you receive the following:
```
