Your Federated Core comes pre-installed with a powerful [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) server allowing you to communicate with anyone on your team and anyone in the world using Matrix.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The client for using Matrix is Element. You can use [Element in a web broswer](https://documentation.federated.computer/docs/core_applications/element/) with your Federated Core, or you can install and use a desktop application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download desktop clients [at this link](https://element.io/download). Note: in our experience, the "Debian / Ubuntu x86_64" instructions are the best way to get the Element desktop client rather than using your package manager.

|
When you launch the Element application the first time, you want to click "Sign In". You will need to edit your "Homeserver" value and put in your "username" and "password".
