I'd like to install & configure a Facebook Chat client on Ubuntu 14.04 14.04 Trusty Tahr to increase my collaboration & work flow with other Students in a Group Chat.

If at all possible I would enjoy the ability to run the client from terminal (in my case, terminator).

My intitial investigation pathway is below.

Previous question: Is there a Facebook messenger app

Answer leads me to here
But at the address it says:

"Application will stop working on March 3, 2014. No lead."

Reference 2:
Integrate Facebook messenger (not chat or facebook)
The answer to this question is using the GUI alternative "empathy" which is OK.
But is it possible to run empathy without a GUI from terminal?

Still looking for possible solutions.

Regards,

You can have a look at this Facebook Terminal Script

To test it out, there is a demo here

You can get your messages with:

api me/inbox

I don't know if there is a method to send a message.

  • worked great ;) cheers, it's a shame XMPP doesn't support group chat though.
