I’m not aware of any plans to add chat back to core, and there haven’t been any merges recently to suggest otherwise. If you really need chat, your best bet would be to put it into a custom app.

have found this :

but if more detailed installation instructions can be given that will be great.

which files do i nd to delete…

Wow, that’s great! First I’m hearing of it.

It appears to be installed like any other app. The documentation should contain instructions for that.

Hello, I am the developer working on this app. The README is now updated. You don’t need to do anything else other than the normal app installation process.
Do let me know if you face any issues.

this will not work on the previous versions because the build process is completely changed in the latest version.

Your frappe version should be the one which introduced the new build system.
