Install And Use Official Telegram Desktop Client In Linux

Telegram is one of the best instant messengers for Linux and definitely needs no introduction.

You can use it on your smartphone. On the desktop, you can use it in a web browser. If you use it frequently and want an even better experience, you can install it on your computer.

Telegram provides native applications for Linux users in the form of Snap and Flatpak packages. It is also available in the software repository of most distributions.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you various methods of installing Telegram on Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.

• Installing Telegram from official repositories on Ubuntu (easy but you may not get the latest version)
• Installing Telegram using Snap on Ubuntu and other distributions (gives you the latest version)
• Installing Telegram using Flatpak on Fedora and other distros (gives you the latest version)

You can go with any of the methods discussed here.

Method 1: Install Telegram in Ubuntu using Software Center

This is the most convenient way to install any software, especially if you’re a beginner and don’t want to mess around the terminal yet.

Open the software center and search for Telegram by clicking on the search icon, and from the given results, the first result is what you’re looking for.

Click on the Install button and Telegram will be installed on your system.

Remove Telegram

Open the software center and select the Installed tab to bring a list of installed software in the system. Here, you’ll find Telegram and a little bin icon for uninstallation. Click on that bin icon and that’s it!

Method 2: Install Telegram in Linux using command line

You will find the availability of Telegram in almost every package manager. Let me share the commands for some of the common ones.

For Ubuntu and Debian-based distros:

sudo apt install telegram-desktop

sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Now, you can proceed with the installation of Telegram:

sudo dnf install telegram-desktop

sudo pacman -S telegram-desktop

You can use the respective package managers for removing Telegram.

Method 3: Install Telegram using Snap

Ubuntu comes pre-configured with Snap. For other distributions, you may have to enable Snap explicitly.

With Snap, you get the latest version of the Telegram application. Use this command:

sudo snap install telegram-desktop

Removing Telegram using Snap

If you want to remove it afterward, use this command:

sudo snap remove telegram-desktop

Method 4: Install Telegram Through Flatpak

Flatpak is another universal packaging format for Linux. Many distros such as Linux Mint and Fedora come preconfigured with it. For others, you can easily enable Flatpak. You should also enable the Flathub repo.

You can install the latest Telegram version with this command:

flatpak install flathub org.telegram.desktop

Removing Telegram with Flatpak

If you don’t like it, you can remove it using:

flatpak uninstall flathub org.telegram.desktop

Using Telegram in Linux

Once you’re done with the installation process, you can launch Telegram from your system menu or by just typing telegram in the terminal. With the first launch, you’ll be greeted with a welcome screen like this:

There are two options to sign in: Using a QR code from your mobile app, so you won’t need to enter your phone no and OTP and the other is the traditional method (enter credentials and OTP to log in).

The default interface has been kept minimal and the below image is from our Telegram, which will notify you whenever we’ll post something useful to you.

In the end …

Telegram is the go-to choice for almost every Linux user, including me. For most users, the free plan will work fine, but you can still choose to go with premium.

By the way, did you know that It’s FOSS has an official Telegram channel? If you are an active Telegram user, join our official channel to receive the latest updates instantly:

Telegram in Fedora

Recently, there has been a new wave of instant messaging services focused on the mobile world. Examples include Whatsapp, Messenger, Hangouts, and Viber. However, these are all closed and don’t have the best record of security and privacy. A new service with a different approach is Telegram. It’s developed and run by a non-profit organization, has an open API and protocol, provides open source clients, and stresses privacy.

The Telegram instant messaging service was founded by Nikolai and Pavel Durovs. They are known for founding VKontakte, the Russian equivalent of Facebook, which they left after they refused to hand over users’ data to FSB. Telegram is based in Berlin and the service has received accolades all around the world.

I’d known about Telegram for some time, but hadn’t tried it out until I conducted a survey asking what IM services Fedora users were using. It caught my attention because it ended up surprisingly high in the list.

Telegram Features

Here is a summary of what makes Telegram an attractive option for instant messaging:

• Free of charge and run by a non-profit organization
• Fast
• Open (open API, open protocol, open source clients; the server side is currently closed though)
• Accepts file uploads up to 1.5 GB
• Secret Chats (end-to-end encryption, a timer to destruct messages)
• Bot API (API that lets you write your own bots to notify you or deliver content to your Telegram client).

How to Join

Telegram accounts are tied to the phone number of the user. The easiest way to start with Telegram are the mobile apps, because they can scan your contacts and give you a list of friends already using the service. You can join Telegram even without having a smartphone, though. You can create an account in one of the official clients including the web client. You’ll need a phone to receive authentication PINs via SMS.

Available Clients for Fedora

There are several Telegram clients you can use in Fedora. There is no clear winner, though. Every client has its pros and cons, which I will try to describe in the following paragraphs.

Telegram Desktop

The official client for Linux desktop is open source and can be found in Copr. You can install it by running the following commands:

The desktop client has all the bells and whistles of Telegram. It includes group chats, emoticons, stickers, and sending/receiving files. However, it lacks one important feature: secret chats which provide end-to-end encryption and were ranked by EFF at 7/7 points.

The desktop client is written in Qt, but unfortunately it’s patched. This makes it hard to include in the official repositories of Fedora. Another minor inconvenience is that it uses its own notifications, instead of the standard ones the system provides. Moreover, the app in Copr is not really built from the source code, but a packaged binary provided on the website of Telegram. So instead of relying on the packaging system, it has its own updating mechanism. This may cause some complexity, such as a parallel installation of the app.

Cutegram

Cutegram is an unofficial alternative to Telegram Desktop and is a well-done client, written in QML. If there was a standard way to install it in Fedora, it would definitely be the best option. However, it’s not available in the official repositories or Copr, and the authors don’t provide an RPM package. You need to download a generic installer which installs the app to /opt and doesn’t create a desktop launcher. Jaroslav Řezník started packaging it in Copr, but hasn’t finished it yet. He might appreciate some help there!

Otherwise Cutegram supports the same set of features as the official client, and adds more. It supports secret chats, is better integrated to the desktop — using standard notifications, for instance — and has more options such as support for multiple accounts.

Plugin for Pidgin

If you’re accustomed to traditional desktop IM clients, or want to have Telegram together with other services in one app, a 3rd-party plugin for Pidgin might be a better option. It can also be found in Copr. To install, run the following commands:

The plugin doesn’t support Telegram-specific emoticons and stickers. However, you can for example send and receive files, and pictures are shown directly in the chat, like in official clients. Most importantly, it supports secret chats.

Telegram CLI

For those who prefer the command line, there’s also an unofficial CLI client. It’s again available in Copr and you can install it running the following commands:

It obviously doesn’t support the graphical features such as emoticons or stickers, but covers a fair share of Telegram features, such as sending and receiving files or secret chats.

Web Client

The official web client, which you can find at web.telegram.org, supports the same features and has the same interface as the official desktop client which means it also lacks support for secret chats.
