Pidgin

Windows

This version of Pidgin downloads an appropriate version of GTK. GTK is now installed locally for Pidgin, and not system-wide, thus Pidgin will not interfere with other GTK apps on your system.

Download

If you would like to have GTK included in the installer, we have an offline installer that bundles everything except spell-checking dictionaries.

If you’re looking for a portable version that doesn’t need installation, we also have that available.

Linux

We do not provide pre-built packages for Linux and Unix distributions. We recommend installing Pidgin using your operating system’s standard package management tool.

If your operating system doesn’t provide a pre-built package, or if their pre-built package is out of date and you want to upgrade, then you can try building from source.

Debian/Ubuntu

FreeBSD

macOS

For a native macOS experience we recommend Adium, which uses libpurple (the core of Pidgin) for much of its protocol support.

If you’re sure you want to use Pidgin on macOS, you may find the packages provided through Homebrew, pkgin, Fink or Macports more convenient than compiling from source. Please note, we do not provide support for issues related to installing Homebrew, pkgin, Fink, Macports, or their packages of Pidgin. Contact those projects directly with questions or concerns.

If you’re sure you want to use Pidgin on macOS and you don’t want to use Homebrew, Fink or Macports, you can download the Pidgin source and compile.

Source

This download is for the source code of Pidgin 2.14.7.

If you want to use Pidgin, you should either download and use our Windows installer or look for pre-built packages from your operating system distribution.

If you are looking to modify Pidgin, you may want to look at our instructions for contributing code from our repository.

Older versions

If you need binaries for older versions of Pidgin, visit our package repository main page. That is also where you can find the checksums for each file and their corresponding gpg signatures.

Finch

Finch is a text-based IM client written in C which uses the ncurses toolkit.

Linux

We do not provide pre-built packages for Linux and Unix distributions. We recommend installing Pidgin using your operating system’s standard package management tool.

If your operating system doesn’t provide a pre-built package, or if their pre-built package is out of date and you want to upgrade, then you can try building from source.

Adium is a free and open sourceinstant messagingclient for macOS that supports multiple IM networks, including Google Talk and XMPP. In the past, it has also supported AIM, ICQ, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. Adium is written using macOS's CocoaAPI, and it is released under the GNU GPL-2.0-or-later and many other licenses for components that are distributed with Adium.

History[edit]

Adium was created by college student Adam Iser, and the first version, 'Adium 1.0', was released in September 2001 and supported only AIM. The version numbers of Adium since then have followed a somewhat unusual pattern. There were several upgrades to Adium 1.0, ending with Adium 1.6.2c.[1]

At this point, the Adium team began a complete rewrite of the Adium code, expanding it into a multiprotocol messaging program. Pidgin's (formerly 'Gaim') libpurple (then called 'libgaim') library was implemented to add support for IM protocols other than AIM – since then the Adium team has mostly been working on the GUI. The Adium team originally intended to release these changes as 'Adium 2.0'. However, Adium was eventually renamed to 'Adium X' and released at version 0.50, being considered 'halfway to a 1.0 product'.[3] Adium X 0.88 was the first version compiled as a universal binary, allowing it to run natively on Intel-based Macs.

In 2005, Adium received a 'Special Mention' at the Apple Design Awards.[4]

After version Adium X 0.89.1, however, the team finally decided to change the name back to 'Adium', and, as such, 'Adium 1.0' was released on February 2, 2007.

Apple Inc. used Adium X 0.89.1's build time in Xcode 2.3 as a benchmark for comparing the performance of the Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 Quad,[5] and Adium 1.2's build time in Xcode 3.0 as a benchmark for comparing the performance of the eight-core Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 Quad.[6]

On November 4, 2014, Adium scored 6 out of 7 points on the Electronic Frontier Foundation's secure messaging scorecard. It lost a point because there has not been a recent independent code audit.[7]

As of late March 2019, Adium is no longer able to support the ICQ plugin.

Protocols[edit]

Adium supports a wide range of IM networks through the libraries libezv (for Bonjour), STTwitterEngine (for Twitter), and libpurple (for all other protocols).

Adium supports the following protocols:

  • XMPP (including Google Talk, Facebook Chat, and LiveJournal services)
  • Twitter[8]
  • Skype with a plugin
  • Skype for Business Server (previously Microsoft Lync Server, Microsoft Office Communications Server) with a plugin
  • Telegram with a plugin
  • QQ with a plugin
  • Steam chat with the 'Steam IM' plugin
  • NateOn with a plugin

Plugins and customization[edit]

Adium makes use of a plugin architecture; many of the program's essential features are actually provided by plugins bundled inside the application package. These plugins include functionality such as file transfer, support for the Growl notifications system, Sparkle for program updates, and support for encrypted messaging with the Off-the-Record Messaging library.

Adium is also highly customizable through the use of resources its developers call 'Xtras'. The program can be customized by the use of hundreds of third-party Xtras that alter the appearance of emoticons, dock icons, contact list styles, and messages styles. Adium can also be enhanced through the use of different sound sets. AppleScripts can also be utilized to automatically alter behavior in responses to certain triggers.

Icon[edit]

The icon of Adium is a green duck named Adiumy. It is also the mascot of the software.[9]
