问题描述
显然，Tox是Skype的免费安全替代品。我喜欢它，但是，我该如何安装呢？
最佳解决办法
Tox有一个名为tox.chat的新网站。旧的tox.im已不复存在。那不再是官方网站。
How do I install Tox?
Manually
您可以从Tox Binaries页面下载Tox二进制文件。选择适合您系统的包。下载后，安装如下：
sudo dpkg -i {YOUR_PREFERRED_TOX_CLIENT}.deb
之后，搜索刚刚安装的客户端。
PPA
截至2018年2月23日，Debian和Ubuntu包存储库已经是shut down。以下部分保留其历史价值。
警告：他们最近更改了他们的PPA基础设施，删除了密钥等，因为它们不再受到维护和支持。
新的安装方式(目前仅支持64位qTox)：
echo "deb https://pkg.tox.chat/debian nightly $(lsb_release -cs)" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tox.list
wget -qO - https://pkg.tox.chat/debian/pkg.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install qtox
release通道不再接收更新，因此不要将通道设置为release，qtox-unity也不再接收支持，因此您现在只能从仍支持的通道(如wily)安装qtox。
请注意，如果您将release频道设置为简单更改不起作用，如果您将其更改为类似wily，升级链接将被破坏，您将无法收到qtox的任何更新，直到您将其删除，更新您的源列表(sudo apt-get update)，然后从正确的通道安装它。
此外，来自qtox开发人员的说明：
“To reiterate irungentoo’s reply in that thread, yes you should uninstall any repos from tox.im, and you should not trust any new binaries from tox.im or libtoxcore.so. We have a new repo: https://wiki.tox.chat/binaries#gnulinux
Right now only qTox is in it, but we’re working on getting the rest of the clients up.
Just a note, we have no reason to believe that any binaries from the old repo/domains have been compromised. This is just a safety measure.” – Current Situation | Tox Blog#comment 14

什么是Tox？ Tox是一种替代品，可下载适用于Linux /Mac /Windows。在撰写本文时，根据Tox Binaries页面，有deb软件包用于AMD64下载，portage覆盖和Arch Linux PKGBUILD。如果有人希望密切关注Tox正在制定的进展，可以在那里查看GitHub page。

Tox为什么存在？
With the rise of governmental monitoring programs, Tox aims to be an easy to use, all-in-one communication platform (including audio, and videochats in the future) that ensures their users full privacy and secure message delivery.
关于Tox
Tox is built with the idea that you can keep up with friends and family without having your privacy violated. While other big-name services require you to pay to unlock features, Tox is free in both price, and in liberty. That is, you’re free to do whatever you wish with Tox.
