Session CLI

A command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with the Session messaging network. This tool allows you to send and receive messages securely and anonymously without a GUI.

About

Session CLI is a lightweight, efficient, and cross-platform client for the Session network. It provides a simple way to manage your Session account and communicate with others from the comfort of your terminal.

Requirements

• Free Pascal Compiler (FPC): A recent version (3.2.0 or later) is required for compilation.
• Dependencies:
  • libzmq (ZeroMQ) for networking.
  • libsodium (cryptographic libraries).
  • libsession-util, libsession-crypto, libsession-onionreq, libsession-config (Oxen/Session libraries).
• Libraries for Linux:
  • libssl-dev
  • libcrypto-dev
  • libzmq3-dev

Installation

From Source

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Eudox67/session-cli.git
   cd session-cli

2. Compile the project using the provided Makefile:

   make build

   The compiled binary will be placed in the bin/ directory.

Running Tests

To compile and run the test suite:

make tests
