This guide covers the installation of kChat, the instant messaging solution of my kSuite. Also refer to the getting started guide.

Get kChat

kChat is offered with my kSuite, with capabilities adapted to each version of my kSuite.

Once you have set up my kSuite within your Organization:

• Access the kChat Web app (online service ksuite.infomaniak.com/kchat)
• … or click here to download the mobile app (application for iOS / Android smartphone or tablet) and the desktop app (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux).

Install kChat

macOS

• kChat requests access to the macOS Keychain for “Chromium Safe Storage”, which is used to store your access token.
• This request is normal and necessary for kChat to function properly; no additional sensitive data is requested and nothing is sent outside.

Linux

• On Linux, kChat is distributed in AppImage format, so depending on your system configuration, it may be necessary to disable sandboxing for the application to work correctly:
  • If kChat does not start, run it from a terminal with the following command: ./kchat.AppImage --no-sandbox
  • You can also create a launcher or a script including this parameter to avoid having to enter it each time you use it.
