Hi, i have been using KDE (now on KDE Neon)for a while as my daily driver and have been wanting to improve the email/calendar situation.

I have seen Merkuro releases and announcements, but no instructions on how to install it!

Please help - how do i use Merkuro!?!? is there a flatpak or repo somewhere.

TIA

    The flatpak is integrated with Kontact for some reason. Distro packages depend on your distro, which you didnt name and it will for sure be on KDE Neon too

      I’m on KDE Neon (in the post), which is latest kde on latest Ubuntu LTS.

      So, if I install that flat pack, how do I launch murkuro?

        Installing the Flatpak should create a Merkuro Launcher, I think. If not, there will be a way to run the merkuro command from within the app container

          Ah, within the container … Some research required!

          That said, I thought I was just missing something obvious, but since there has been no forthcoming answers, I assume it is not quite ready for people who are not willing to compile from scratch

            No it is definetly ready to test. Not completed but ready.

            In my experience the online accounts were broken (already reported) so I couldnt use it

            The flatpak command is a guess, a single flatpak can have multiple desktop entries, example Libreoffice

            Otherwise you would use flatpak run --command=org.some.app2 org.some.app

              I think I am just going to have to wait. I am hanging out for a good replacement for the office suite. I am currently using better bird which is good, but there are a few things that get to me, one being that I am in an unreliable internet country and the offline support has issues

    I’ve been trying to install it last night on Fedora, there’s all sorts of missing akonadi errors. Maybe it’s broken for Fedora, but I am not seeing a lot of support with it.

      I was hoping that running Kde neon would give me the best hope for it to run…

        Try running akonadictl restart. I tried that earlier and it seemed to allow me to load the mail app and add accounts to the calendar app.
