## Telegram messenger CLI
|
|
|
|
Command-line interface for [Telegram](http://telegram.org). Uses readline interface.
|
|
|
|
### API, Protocol documentation
|
|
|
|
Documentation for Telegram API is available here: http://core.telegram.org/api
|
|
|
|
Documentation for MTproto protocol is available here: http://core.telegram.org/mtproto
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
#### Linux
|
|
|
|
Just run
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
The client depends on [readline library](http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html) and [libconfig](http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/), which are not included in OS X by default. You have to install these libraries manually, e.g. using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/).
|
|
|
|
$ brew install libconfig
|
|
$ brew install readline
|
|
$ export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.4/include"
|
|
$ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.4/lib"
|
|
$ ./configure && make
|
|
|
|
