Telegram on Raspberry Pi

In one of our last tutorials we have installed WhatsApp on Raspberry. Whatsapp at the moment is definitely the most famous app for messaging services, but there are also many alternatives although little known. One of these is Telegram.

"Telegram is a cloud-based mobile and desktop messaging app with a focus on security and speed. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram is cloud-based and heavily encrypted. As a result, you can access your messages from several devices at once, including tablets and computers, and share an unlimited number of photos, videos and files (doc, zip, mp3, etc) of up to 1,5 GB. Thanks to our multi-data center infrastructure and encryption, Telegram is also faster and way moresecure. On top of that, Telegram is free and will stay free — no ads, no subscription fees, forever." From https://telegram.org/
Well, then we try to install it on Raspberry

You need:

Installation:

Update the packages with
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Install libs: readline or libedit, openssl and (if you want to use config) libconfig and liblua. If you do not want to use them pass options --disable-libconfig and --disable-liblua respectively.
sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev libconfig-dev libssl-dev lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libevent-dev make
Clone GitHub Repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/vysheng/tg.git && cd tg 
./configure
make
Running this command takes a little time and after install is done
