How to backup Telegram chat?


I found somethings like this code to send to Telegram-CLI but I have no idea what it means or how to do it so if someone could explain it to me step by step I'd be so happy. https://github.com/psamim/telegram-cli-backup

I couldn't install sqlite3 for some reason with the given code there. I'm using windows, do I need to boot into Ubuntu to do it? Anyways, explain it to me like I'm 3 years old in case I won't know something.

Thanks so much.


Solution

  • If you are using windows check the instructions here. I've only tried in Linux and the link in your question (using Lua) works.

    The following scripts too does the job well
