@Russ The KDE On Windows team already added Choqok to build system! You should use the installer for windows.

Choqok is currently in fedora’s updates-testing, so please test it out if you get the time.
I’ll probably push it to stable within a week

@Mehrdad: aha, hadn’t thought of that, I was looking for some sort of downloadable installer here. I’ll use the kde installer this weekend. Thanks!

I’ve installed KDE On Windows. I don’t know how to install Choqok? Is there a download or do I compile from source?
