How do you install session in Pureos?

Software PureOS

Could you help me install this with advice in PureOS?

sudo curl -so /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/oxen.gpg https://deb.oxen.io/pub.gpg
echo “deb https://deb.oxen.io $(lsb_release -sc) main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list
sudo apt update

Shows errors

Can you paste in what those errors are? and which command(s) gave errors?

echo “deb https://deb.oxen.io $(lsb_release -sc) main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list
sudo apt update
“deb https://deb.oxen.io byzantium main”
E: Type ‘“deb’ is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list

Right, yes, the commands given by that repository aren’t going to work with PureOS.

The piece $(lsb_release -sc) won’t give the right result. Try that command again as

echo “deb https://deb.oxen.io bullseye main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list

I thought it was very convenient that the AppImage on Session’s download page was plug-and-play on my Linux machine. Are you using arm (Librem 5) or x86_64 (L13, L14, L15)?

On x86_64, I guess the AppImage should just work with no configuration, besides a chmod +x command, perhaps.

I read you can’t trust appimages or .deb really. Better to compile or install in other ways… viruses and such.

11

Compiling yourself from source is a great option if you need extra verification that your version of Session uses the publicly available code.

But I think you have been trying to install using the .deb? I believe this will be roughly equivalent level of trust with using the official AppImage.

Evidently you haven’t cleared out previous errors. You are still referencing the byzantium release for a third party repository that does not support or recognise byzantium.

Perhaps sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list

and then recreate that file using the command that I gave in my previous post.

Needless to say that /etc/apt/sources.list should not have any references to this third party repository.
