Requirements:

• Install Wire either from the app store, or download from our website: 

• Have a running Wire backend in your infrastructure/cloud. Note down the full URL of the webapp served by that backend (e.g. https://app.custom-wire.com)

Windows

• Create a shortcut to the Wire application

• Edit the shortcut

  • add the following command line paramenter to the shortcut: --env {URL}, where {URL} is the URL of your webapp

macOS

• To create the application

  • Open Automator.

  • New application

  • Add "Run shell script" phase.

  • Type in the script panel the following command: open -b com.wearezeta.zclient.mac --args --env {URL}, where {URL} is the URL of your webapp.

  • Save the application from Automator (e.g. on your desktop or in Application)

• To run the application: just open the application you created in step one.

Linux

• Start the application with the command line arguments: --env {URL}, where {URL} is the URL of your webapp.

iOS / Android

1. Install Wire, do not log in on any account.

2. Open the link.

3. Accept the popups.

Link format

Create a link with the following format:

wire://access/?config={JSON-URL}

where {JSON URL} is the URL of a JSON file that will describe how to connect to your backend, for example https://my-backend.my-company.com/config.json.

This can be hosted anywhere that is accessible to the device opening the link: the app will download it to discover how to connect to the backend.

The wire://access?... link needs to be open on the mobile device (for example send it by email, embed it on a webpage, etc.).
