Since Ubuntu is focused on stability, you will find that, apart from security updates and bugfixes, the Pidgin in the repositories will generally only be updated to a newer version with every new release of Ubuntu - which occurs approximately every 6 months.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=pidgin.screenshot.png
== Install Pidgin from repository ==
== Installation & Start Up ==
The recommended way to install Pidgin is through the official Ubuntu repositories. That way you'll get the supported version.
{|border="1" cellspacing="0"
Installing through the repositories is pretty straightforward:
|Pidgin is installed by default and is started via the ''Applications, Internet, Pidgin Internet Messenger'' menu. The pidgin packages are available in the ''main'' repository. User configuration files are stored by default in ~/.purple. Once Pidgin is running in Ubuntu, an icon can be placed on a panel via Pidgin's ''Tools, Preferences, Interface'' tab.||https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=pidgin.panel.png
<ol><li>Go to '''Applications''' -> '''Add/Remove...'''
|}
</li><li>Search for ''Pidgin'' and tick the box with ''Pidgin Internet Messenger''.
If not installed, the user can install pidgin via Synaptic (''System, Administration, Synaptic Package Manager'') or via terminal: `sudo apt-get install pidgin`.
</li><li>Press '''Apply Changes''' and, if asked, enter your password.</li></ol>
For more detailed information on installation and customization, refer to the [http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin Pidgin FAQ Page].  
 
=== Configuring Pidgin for Ubuntu IRC ===
For more info about how to install software from the repositories, see [[UbuntuHelp:InstallingSoftware|InstallingSoftware]].
Pidgin can easily be set up to log on to the Ubuntu IRC support channels. Users must create a new account in Pidgin.
== Install current release from official website ==
{|border="1" cellspacing="0"
You may sometimes want a newer version of Pidgin, and to get this, you will have to install it directly from the official website, but '''be aware that like any other application installed directly via a website such a version of Pidgin will not receive updates of any kind through Ubuntu's Update Manager!'''
|https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=pidgin.add-account1.png||||https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=pidgin.add-account2.png
This section will explain the steps necessary to install Pidgin from the official website - in this example it's Pidgin 2.1.1, which, by the way, is already present in Ubuntu Gutsy's repositories.
|}
=== Prepare for Installation ===
* Click the Pidgin icon, then: Accounts, Manage Accounts, Add.
==== Removing Gaim ====
* Select ''IRC''.
Before you start, you have to make sure Gaim, the predecessor of Pidgin, is not already installed. This can be done following these instructions:
* Enter '''irc.freenode.net'''. You can also use '''irc.ubuntu.com'''.
<ol><li>Go to '''System''' -> '''Administration''' -> '''Synaptic Package Manager'''
* Enter a username/nick. If you already have a nick registered with Freenode, enter it.
</li><li>Enter the password for your user account and press OK
* You can visit the Ubuntu IRC channels as a guest without registering, however registering a nick (username) is encouraged.
</li><li>Press 'Search', and enter ''gaim'' into the search field
* Visit this site for how to register:  [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration How to Register on Freenode]
</li><li>If the ''gaim'' package is selected, then deselect it
=== Logging on to Ubuntu IRC ===
</li><li>Press ''Apply''.</li></ol>

==== Getting the necessary dependencies ====
|}
Now, with a 'clean table', we can proceed. First, you need to install some libraries, which Pidgin will need in order to work:
* Start Pidgin and click on the Pidgin icon.
<ol><li>Go to '''Applications''' -> '''Accessories''' -> '''Terminal'''
* Click ''Buddies, Join a Chat''
</li><li>Type <pre><nowiki>sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev gettext libnss-dev libnspr-dev
* Enter the channel you wish to visit. If you wish to join multiple channels, separate the entries with a comma (#ubuntu,#ubuntu-beginners-help).
</nowiki></pre> to get the proper dependencies.</li></ol>
* You can view a list of available Freenode channels by clicking the ''Room List''.
 
* View the list of [[UbuntuHelp:InternetRelayChat|available|Ubuntu channels]].
===== Optional libraries for extra features =====
* If you have already registered your nick, enter your password. A password is not necessary to join channels as a guest.
* If you wish to include spell checking, add ''libgtkspell-dev'' to that list.
== Bugs ==
* If you wish to include ALSA or OSS for playing sounds, add ''libgstreamer0.10-dev'' to that list.
'''There seems to be some misconception among some Ubuntu users that the Pidgin bugtracker and the Pidgin mailing list were a general Ubuntu support forum, but this is not the case. [http://pidgin.im pidgin.im] is ONLY for Pidgin. If you have a question or problem that is not related to the instant messaging client called Pidgin, DO NOT ask there. Instead, install Pidgin on your computer and join one of the chatrooms listed [[UbuntuHelp:InternetRelayChat|here]]'''
* If you wish to include idle times based on keyboard/mouse usage, add ''libxss-dev'' to that list.
=== Downloading and extracting Pidgin ===
Your system should now be prepared to handle Pidgin, so it's time to get the Pidgin source code. This is pretty straightforward:
<ol><li>Download ''pidgin-2.1.1.tar.bz2'' from [http://www.pidgin.im/pidgin/download/source/]
</li><li>When downloaded, right-click on ''pidgin-2.1.1.tar.bz2'', which should be in your default Downloads-directory, and select «'''Extract Here'''»</li></ol>
 
=== Installation ===
Okay, so now you have all that you need, now it's all about compiling and installing:
<ol><li>Go to '''Applications''' -> '''Accessories''' -> '''Terminal'''
</li><li>Type <pre><nowiki>sudo apt-get install build-essential
</nowiki></pre> to install a build environment (see [[UbuntuHelp:CompilingSoftware|CompilingSoftware]] for further information)
</li><li>Change directory to the newly created ''pidgin-2.1.1'' directory using the '''cd''' command. (If you don't know how to use '''cd''', check [https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/basic-commands/C/ar01s03.html#id2497610 "Commands"] in the [https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04 official Ubuntu documentation].)
</li><li>When you've navigated the terminal to the ''pidgin-2.1.1'' directory, you have to type in the following in the Terminal: <pre><nowiki>./configure --enable-gnutls=yes
</nowiki></pre></li></ol>
 
(Note: The ''--enable-gnutls=yes'' flag means SSL support will be compiled in, which is required for the MSN and Google Talk protocols.)
<ol><li>Now Pidgin should be configured, and you should see a bunch of output on the screen. After it's finished configuring, it's time to create a makefile. In the same terminal, type: <pre><nowiki>make
</nowiki></pre>
</li><li>Creating the makefile  is also going to take a little while, so grab a cup of coffee while you wait :)
</li><li>When the '''make''' command has finished, it's time to actually install Pidgin. This is done by typing: <pre><nowiki>make install
</nowiki></pre>
</li><li>When it's finished, then you should have Pidgin installed. Congratulations!</li></ol>
 
=== Clean up ===
With Pidgin installed, you have the option of doing a little cleaning up of the files that were created and used doing installation, but aren't used anymore:
<ol><li>While remaining in the same terminal, type in <pre><nowiki>make clean
</nowiki></pre>
</li><li>When finished, type in: <pre><nowiki>make distclean
</nowiki></pre> to also remove the files that `./configure` created.</li></ol>
 
== Other info ==
This section deals with other aspects of Pidgin than installing.
=== Bugs ===
Like all software, Pidgin has its share of bugs. However, you can help to improve Pidgin by reporting any bugs you may find.
