Campfire is a great web based solution for online meetings (aka web based chats.) So great that you end up using it every single day. And when you do, you realize that you need something more than just web chatting. You need alerts (so you know when someone is talking to you.) You need systray icons (so the chat doesn’t get in the way.) You need a proper reporting of what was discussed while you were away. You need more. Thats what you realize when you start using Campfire on a day to day basis.

Snakefire is desktop client for Campfire. Snakefire is the perfect way to use Campfire in your desktop. It allows you to set up alerts that will notify you when certain messages arrive (so you can drink your coffee without fearing that you may miss something important.) You can see what was said since you left, and what is relevant to you. You can upload anything quickly and easily (drag and drop.) You can do everything you were able to do with Campfire, in a friendlier (and more exciting) way.

Install Snakefire in ubuntu

Open the terminal and run the following commands

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rael-gc/snakefire
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install snakefire

    Hi,

    For some reason snakefire is not installing on Ubuntu 14.10. I have searched the web and can’t find a solution to this problem. Hopefully someone can help me. Here is what I have entered:

    larry@larry-lap:~$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rael-gc/snakefire
    Snakefire (http://snakefire.org) is a desktop client for Campfire (https://campfirenow.com).

    To install, run in terminal:

    sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/snakefire
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install snakefire

    If you’re using KDE additionally install snakefire-kde:

    sudo apt-get install snakefire-kde

    BTW, I did execute the “sudo apt-get update” command between the “add repository” and “install” ones, but did not show the output here.
