These are Debian/Ubuntu package repositories. New packages are built nightly (if new changes are available).

Adding the APT repository

Add a line like this to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://code.bitlbee.org/debian//// ./

Replace branch + version + architecture with the corresponding values. Also, the ./ at the end is important.

Branches master Main branch, you probably want this develop Slightly more experimental parson, hip-cat, … Other feature branches, even more experimental Versions wheezy Debian 7.0 (old-old-stable) jessie Debian 8.0 (old-stable) stretch Debian 9.0 (stable) testing Debian testing trusty Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty tahr), Linux Mint 17 xenial Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial xerus) zesty Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty zapus) artful Ubuntu 17.10 (artful aardvark) …. Any non-EOLed Ubuntu release should normally work, we’re just bad at updating this page in time Architectures i386 amd64 raspbian Obviously only for Debian releases, not Ubuntu armhf armel Not for Ubuntu (no official port anymore after Precise)

For example, if you have debian jessie amd64, you’d write the following:

deb http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/master/jessie/amd64/ ./

GPG key

You can add the signing key (signed by E3304051, wilmer@gaast.net, which has a pretty reasonable trust path) to your apt configs by copy-pasting the following into a shell window:

wget -O- https://code.bitlbee.org/debian/release.key | sudo apt-key add -

Configuration

Install bins

sudo apt install bitlbee-libpurple
sudo apt install telegram-purple

Init bitlbee

  • start irssi

  • in window /connect localhost

  • in window 2 account add telegram <[+code-country] [phone-number]> <anything>

  • in window 3 enter login code of telegram

11:45:03 <@user> account add telegram <phone_number_with_region_prefix> <anything>
11:45:03 <@root> Account successfully added
11:45:06 <@user> account telegram on

After connecting a separate chat window will open, asking for the SMS code – enter it and Telegram will work with your setup.
