Install a flavour of Perl for Windows if you don't have it already:\n    - [Strawberry Perl 5.10.1.5](http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.10.1.5/strawberry-perl-5.10.1.5.msi) - Pidgin 2.9.x can only work with Strawberry Perl version 5.10.x.\n    - [ActivePerl 5.10.1.1007 (google search)](http://www.google.com/search?q=ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86-291969.msi) -  Again Pidgin 2.9.x can only work with ActivePerl version 5.10.x (32bit).\n2. Restart Pidgin and go to Help:Build Information in the menu. Scroll to the bottom and check for \"Perl: Enabled\". If Perl is disabled, restart and/or reinstall Pidgin or reinstall Perl until it is enabled.\n3. Save the .pl script under C:\\Users\\your_user\\AppData\\Roaming\\\\.purple\\plugins (plugins dir might not exist yet).\n4. Save pidgin.ico in C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Pidgin (this is used as the application icon which appears on the toast).\n5. Clone and build [console-toast-8](https://github.com/adriankeenan/console-toast-8), then add \\bin\\Release to your PATH.\n6. Restart pidgin.\n7. Check that the script is enabled under Tools-\u003ePlugins.\n8. Optionally you can unpin the pidgin-toast-8 shortcut from your start screen, just don't delete the physical shortcut (this is required for toasts to work).\n9. Optionally you can edit the call to console-toast-8 to make notifications silent or remove avatars for more text (check the readme for options).\n\nLicense\n=======\nGNU GPL v2 ([as required by Pidgin](https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Scripting%20and%20Plugins#Aretherelicensingrestrictionsonplugins)).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fadriankeenan%2Fpidgin-toast-8","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fadriankeenan%2Fpidgin-toast-8","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fadriankeenan%2Fpidgin-toast-8/lists"}
