Telegram Desktop - dadakrpa - 29th November 2016

Hello,

Thinking to switch to Maui. However I was surprised not to find a client for Telegram. Did I miss something?
How would I install it otherwise? Thanks for any pointers.

Telegram desktop PPA:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/telegram
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install telegram

There is also a snap package as well:
Code:
sudo snap install telegram-sergiusens

Thanks so much, I used the first way in a live session and it worked perfectly. Which of the two ways would give the most upto date version?

As they both are provided by third parties it is hard to tell.
I personally would recommend the telegram snap (second method) as this less problematic for updating later on especially if you want to use Maui as LTS.
