To install from source run:

cargo install --git https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/ deltachat-rpc-server

The deltachat-rpc-server executable will be installed into $HOME/.cargo/bin that should be available in your PATH.

The common use case for this program is to create bindings to use Delta Chat core from programming languages other than Rust, for example:

  1. Python: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/tree/master/deltachat-rpc-client/
  2. Go: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-rpc-client-go/
