How do I start Telegram from the command line?
Solution 1:
Since you installed telegram from the PPA, it is likely installed in /opt
. Probably under /opt/telegram
. You should be able to launch it from the command-line by running:
/opt/telegram/Telegram
but if you wanted to make this easier you can create a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin
like so:
sudo ln -s /opt/telegram/Telegram /usr/local/bin/telegram
you can then launch telegram with the command:
telegram
Solution 2:
On Ubuntu 17.10, 18.04 and above, If you have installed using Ubuntu Software Manager, you can launch it using the following command in terminal:
telegram-desktop
if you want to start it minimized in tray use the following command (e.g you want to create an start up entry):
telegram-desktop -startintray
