As of December 15, 2023, Rocket.Chat has ceased support for connections from cloud services and official mobile/desktop apps to workspaces running legacy versions outside our support window. Users on unsupported legacy servers are advised to upgrade to the latest Rocket.Chat version to ensure continued access to cloud, mobile, and desktop applications. Each Rocket.Chat version is supported for six months post-release.
Welcome to the detailed guide on installing Rocket.Chat client applications on your desktop and mobile devices. This guide is dedicated to helping you take the first crucial step: setting up the Rocket.Chat apps on your preferred devices. Whether you're on Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, this guide has got you covered.
Desktop apps
For desktop communication, Rocket.Chat offers robust applications that seamlessly integrate with your Windows, MacOS, or Linux environment.
Windows: Download from the Windows Store.
macOS: Install from the Mac App Store.
Linux (Ubuntu): Install our Snap using the command below:
sudo snap install rocketchat-desktop
The advantage of Snaps is that they automatically update, eliminating the need for manual client updates. They are also compatible with other platforms.
To download the desktop app’s source files for manual installation, visit the Desktop app releases repository and download your preferred release file from the Assets section. Refer to the website for more details.
Mobile apps
To ensure that you stay connected, no matter where you are, Rocket.Chat offers dedicated applications for iOS and Android devices.
