If you are still on a 32 bit version of linux, it is easy to change the install script to support your platform.

Installing

Install Node Skip if you already have node.

npm install slack-for-linux -g

If you have setup correctly, the above command will install the package somewhere in your path.

Then you can run your client from your terminal of choice.

Why

Forgot my mac charger for a trip, and only had a linux laptop. I wanted to make an app using node-webkit.

You should probably just use the chrome extension from Slack. But if you are not a chrome user, this could be something worth while.

Running and Developing

####Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:wlaurance/slack-for-linux.git && cd slack-for-linux

npm install
