Flare -Signal problem

Hardware Librem 5
21

Officially Signal only accepts iPhone or Android as a primary device. I have seen on Flare’s gitlab that there may be a way to do so, but I have never tried it myself: Primary device support (#128) · Issues · Schmiddi on Mobile / Flare · GitLab

You may need to use signal-cli which has a feature to set up as primary device as a way to get started: GitHub - AsamK/signal-cli: signal-cli provides an unofficial commandline, JSON-RPC and dbus interface for the Signal messenger. · GitHub

Again, I’ve never tried it but I was curious enough to do that bit of research.

Awesome thanks! I will look into it. I mainly have the weekends available for computer things it so it will be next week when I can probably look at this again. I am such a novice that it took me an hour to learn how to install things from git hub (was downloading the zip files at first) but figured it out. Ive used a linux computer for 2 years but never had to do many fancy things with it, but can look up tutorials and things to try to learn. Thanks again.
