I'm wanting to use a command line interface for Google hangouts, instead of having the Chrome extension. Is there anything about?

Yes, there is a github repo for this by tdryer written in python called Hangups.

Installation is via pip3:

  1. Update first: 

    sudo apt update

  2. Install pip3 if absent:

    sudo apt install python-pip

  3. Install hangups:

    pip3 install hangups

  • Spent a fair amount of time installing this, and after doing so it appears that this is designed to be a terminal-based interactive interface, with no command line options to send messages. Am I missing something? – glenviewjeff Dec 31 '19 at 00:37
  • To send hangouts messages from the command line, use a script [like this one] after installing Hangups as above. (https://gist.github.com/tdryer/0cf6903eeb3dc948bae0). – glenviewjeff Dec 31 '19 at 02:53
