Requirements

This code was written in 2016. Since then, the dependencies have changed so to make it work, you'll have to compile old softwares.

Dependencies:

• python3
• pygame (for python3)
• pyaudio (for python3)
• PyTox (specifically the commit 9c31ee5879775ef3352dd21b58ddb1fb0edc44b1)
• toxcore (specifically the commit 0938ba08d9a839df4111168f3414099268d69737)

toxcore

For Arch Linux users, it is possible to compile the package from [community] like any package from the AUR:

wget https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/snapshot/community-c1dbb181bd9fe2551276d6c7bc8599ed1e08bd78.tar.gz
tar -xzvf community-c1dbb181bd9fe2551276d6c7bc8599ed1e08bd78.tar.gz
cd community-c1dbb181bd9fe2551276d6c7bc8599ed1e08bd78
makepkg
pacman -U toxcore-3697-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

For other users, you should clone the specific commit and have a look at the README:

git clone https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore.git
cd toxcore
git checkout 0938ba08d9a839df4111168f3414099268d69737
cat README.md

PyTox

Once toxcore is compiled and installed, you can clone PyTox and install it:

https://github.com/aitjcize/PyTox.git
cd PyTox
git checkout 9c31ee5879775ef3352dd21b58ddb1fb0edc44b1
python3 setup.py install

Or to install it only for the local user:

python3 setup.py install --user

ToxPhone-UI

After installing everything, you can clone this repository and go to the "Starting" section :

git clone https://github.com/rodolpheh/toxphone-ui.git

Starting

For now, the program can't create a tox profile. The workaround is to use any tox client to create one, invite a few friends, quit the client and copy the profile's file in the local folder and rename it as echo.data.

After this, you can start using python3 main.py

Navigating through the UI is achieved with the following keys:

• NUMPAD_8 : down
• NUMPAD_2 : up
• NUMPAD_5 : enter
• r : return
