How to install Chum?

I get Storeman

You go to OpenRepos’ download page
and then you download the latest attachment and press install.

But what is the best course of action to download and install chum?

I’ve tried downloading and install the Chum GUI installer via storeman,
but the app doesn’t show up in my ‘apps menu’*.


* Not sure if it’s called apps menu, so correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks. Looks like the app is having a fatal error when trying to load.

Download the RPM from https://repo.sailfishos.org/obs/sailfishos:/chum/4.6_aarch64/aarch64/sailfishos-chum-gui-0.6.9-1.10.1.jolla.aarch64.rpm, install, open Settings inside Chum app and set Sailfish version to 4.6.0.15.

The link is for C2 phone?

Yes and no. Technically it’s for architecture of C2 not specifically for C2. That’s why you need to set version manually. But after that it works great.

To the GPS functions and how to install the Osm scout server, I’ve opened this thread for C2: How to make the GPS work with a Jolla C2? - #9 by danield

Your second command is wrong. Try pkcon install mapnik instead.
