This is an experimental replacement for the Zulip Desktop app implemented in Electron.

The goal is to achieve feature-compatibility with the old desktop app and then start adding cool features like easy support for multi-account.

Clone the source locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/zulip/zulip-electron
$ cd zulip-electron

If you're on Debian or Ubuntu, you'll also need to install nodejs-legacy:

Use your package manager to install npm.

$ sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy

Install project dependencies:

$ npm install

Start the app:

$ npm start
