Manjaro and Telegram

[Antonio_S]

I was trying to install Telegram on Manjaro, but anyway it doesn't work at all.
I used this instruction, and I downloaded file from official website (but this installer does not fit this OS).
I have an icon of Telegram on the panel, but when i run it (nothing happend).
Info:
Manjaro XFCE 4.13

I downloaded file from official website

The instruction does not tell you to download from the official website, it tells you to enable the AUR Repository and install it from there.

Yeah, right.
I installed that way, but when I click on the Telegram icon it doesn't run anyway.
Also I tried to download Telegram from official website, but I can't run this file

What happens if you open a Terminal and input: telegram-desktop

Cool, when I run this command Telegram opened.
But how can I create an icon

Instead of creating an icon you might be better to autostart the program telegram-desktop. When your computer is on telegram will always be on and people can contact you.

Thank you. I had some problems at first, but now it is okay.
Now when Manjaro runs, Telegram runs too.
