Create your Vuvuzela account
Install the Vuvuzela client
Vuvuzela is built on the Go language. To install the Vuvuzela client, you will need Go 1.8+. Some distros provide a convenient way to install a recent version of Go:
pacman -S go # Arch Linux brew install go # Homebrew / OSX
Otherwise, download and install the official Go binaries . Ubuntu users have some more options . Verify that Go 1.8+ is installed:
$ go version go version go1.9.2 linux/amd64
Configure your Go path in ~/.bashrc. You can skip this step, in which case the Vuvuzela client will be installed to ~/go/bin.
export GOPATH=~/go export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
Install the Vuvuzela client:
$ go get -u vuvuzela.io/vuvuzela/cmd/vuvuzela-client
You can rerun this command to update the client.
Finish creating your Vuvuzela account
Follow the instructions in your email to finish creating your Vuvuzela account. You'll have to run the /register command in your client with the token you receive in your email:
/register token
Add friends and start chatting
Send a friend request using the addfriend command:
/addfriend <strong>their_username</strong>
Your client will notify you when your friend accepts the request. The /list command lists your friends. Use the call command to start a conversation:
/call <strong>their_username</strong>
Their username will turn green when your friend answers the call; now you can start chatting!
