Installation How to install CProof
order
1

CProof is available for Linux, *BSD, Windows (via WSL or Cygwin), and macOS (via MacPorts). Choose the installation method that suits your system.

Once installed, you can:

Linux / *BSD

Distribution Package Link
Arch (AUR) aur.archlinux.org

We know that the list is currently way too short. Feel free to build from source for your distribution.

Windows

CProof can be used on Windows via:

  • WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) — Recommended
  • Cygwin

WSL (Recommended)

WSL allows you to run a Linux distribution directly inside Windows. It's supported since Windows 10.

Read Microsoft’s official WSL documentation to learn how to install and configure it.

After installing WSL and choosing a Linux distribution (like Debian, Ubuntu, or openSUSE), install CProof using that distro’s package manager.

To compare available CProof versions across distros, check Repology.

Cygwin

  1. Download and install Cygwin:

  2. During setup, search for and include the following packages:

    • wget
    • unzip

  3. Download the CProof source from git.jabber.space and follow the build guide.

To enable OTR and OMEMO support, you’ll need to build libotr and libsignal-protocol-c manually, as they are not available in the Cygwin repository.

macOS

MacPorts

A build guide using MacPorts is available in this GitHub wiki by louiecaulfield.
