# Installation and configuration guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I assume that you have a basic understanding of XMPP and the the concept of a XMPP component / transport. If not, please get a book about Jabber or read the standards.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
transWhat is a XMPP transport. By this means it extends the functionallity of an existing XMPP server. It acts as a gateway between the XMPP and WhatsApp networks. It receives WhatsApp messages and forwards them to your XMPP client (and vice-versa).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implementation of transWhat is based on the [Spectrum 2](http://www.spectrum.im) framework and the [Yowsup 2](https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup) library to interface with WhatsApp.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following chart summarizes the involved components and the protocols they use to communicate.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Prosody
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I will not cover the installation of Prosody in this guide. Please look for some other tutorials on how to do that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only important thing for us is the configuration of a XMPP component (Spectrum 2 in our case).
|
||
|
|
See http://prosody.im/doc/components.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Append the following at the end of `/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Component "whatsapp.0l.de"
|
||
|
|
component_secret = "whatsappsucks"
|
||
|
|
component_ports = { 5221 }
|
||
|
|
component_interface = "127.0.0.1"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Spectrum 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Manual compile latest version from [Github](https://github.com/hanzz/libtransport).
|
||
|
|
You can use the following guide: http://spectrum.im/documentation/installation/from_source_code.html.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create a new file `/etc/spectrum2/transports/whatsapp.cfg` with the following content:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
password = whatsappsucks
|
||
|
|
port = 5221
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
backend_host = localhost
|
||
|
|
backend = /location/to/transwhat/transwhat.py
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
users_per_backend = 10
|
||
|
|
more_resources = 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
admin_jid = your@jid.example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[identity]
|
||
|
|
name = transWhat
|
||
|
|
type = xmpp
|
||
|
|
category = gateway
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[logging]
|
||
|
|
config = /etc/spectrum2/logging.cfg
|
||
|
|
backend_config = /etc/spectrum2/backend-logging.cfg
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
