Package doesn’t exist or just changed name? If it doesn’t exist, we just have to delete one section, easy.
OK. But we need to explicitly state that i.e. ranked in order.
Yes, but I was wondering about possibility with no advertised sig & key associated with that. Why don’t they put this on front page in an obvious place? Boggles the mind how uber-geeks lack common sense. No wonder their users are in the 100s or 1000s, because nobody can install it securely, 5 years after they started developing…
Anyway, this should work below and be easiest for Non-Qubes-Whonix? Reasonable?
Will not work in Qubes-Whonix due to blocks on downloading random stuff into TemplateVM at steps 2 & 3 ie “can’t load uri” etc. So another solution is required or one could just bypass it by downloading in non-TemplateVM and just shift it between qubes.

As qTox is not currently available as a stand-alone Debian package, users have three choices in late-2018:
- Build the package from source (difficult).
- Rely on an unsigned, self-contained AppImage downloaded from the Tox homepage (insecure).
- Install Flatpak from stretch-backports and then install Tox from the Flathub repository (easiest).
== Flatpak Method ==
Note: .flatpakrepo
files generally include the base64-encoded version of the GPG key that was used to sign the repository.
Steps for the Flatpak method are outlined below.
‘’‘1.’‘’ Install Flatpak.
Note: It is recommended to create a separate Whonix-Workstation before installing addtional software. Also qTox is alpha software which has not been formally audited, therefore it is less trusted.
Flatpak must be installed in Whonix-Workstation from Debian backports.
{{Install Backport|package=
flatpak
}}
‘’‘2.’‘’ Add the Flathub repository.
Flathub is a common place to source Flatpak applications. To enable it, run.
{{CodeSelect|code=
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
}}
‘’‘3.’‘’ Restart and install qTox.
A restart of Whonix-Workstation is necessary for flatpak to finish setting up.
To install qTox from flathub, open a terminal (Konsole) and run. Install qTox on Linux | Flathub
{{CodeSelect|code=
flatpak install flathub io.github.qtox.qTox
}}
‘’‘4.’‘’ Start qTox.
To launch qTox, run.
{{CodeSelect|code=
flatpak run io.github.qtox.qTox
}}
