1. Download source code:

git clone https://github.com/p-vorobyev/telegram-desktop-compose-multiplatform.git

2. Specify environment variables(GIT_HUB_LOGIN, GIT_HUB_TOKEN) with your GitHub credentials or write them directly to backend/build.gradle.kts file. We need them to download some dependencies from GitHub packages.

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/p-vorobyev/*")
        credentials {
            username = System.getenv("GIT_HUB_LOGIN")
            password = System.getenv("GIT_HUB_TOKEN")
        }
    }
}

3. Go to directory backend/src/main/resources and fill in the application.properties with your Telegram credentials:

spring.telegram.client.api-id=
spring.telegram.client.api-hash=
spring.telegram.client.phone=<international_format_phonenumber>
spring.telegram.client.database-encryption-key=
spring.telegram.client.database-directory=<directory_for_telegram_data>

4. Run the build script in the project root directory:

./build.sh

When the script completes, you will see the destination path of the binaries in the console output.

> Task :desktop:createDistributable
The distribution is written to /Users/vorobyev/Documents/projects/telegram-desktop-client/desktop/build/compose/binaries/main/app

At the first start you need to authorize the app with code from Telegram(will be sent to official app). If you have activated 2-Step verification you will also need to confirm it. After this, the chats will load for a while and become available. Example with filter some chats: Currently only some basic message types (text and photo) are available without additional features (reactions, delivery status, reply info, etc.). Some features will be implemented in the future as possible.
