Unofficial Facebook Messenger app
[![](media/screenshot.png)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/releases/latest)
Requires OS X 10.8+ or Linux. Windows support planned.
$ brew cask install caprine
Download, unzip, and move Caprine.app
to the /Applications
directory.
Download and unzip to some location.
To add a shortcut to the app, create a file in ~/.local/share/applications
called caprine.desktop
with the following contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Caprine
Exec=/full/path/to/folder/Caprine
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/full/path/to/folder/Caprine/resources/app/media/Icon.png
The interface adapts when resized to a small size.
Desktop notifications can be turned on in Preferences.
NOTE: There is a known bug with Electron's handling of desktop notifications on systems running Gnome 3 that may cause Caprine to crash if notifications are clicked. Until this bug is resolved, do not click on notifications if they cause the app to crash on your system.
