'Off The Record' encryption seems mostly dead to me. But this is what I did, back in the day...

Install libotr-dev or libotr5-dev or whatever..

1sudo apt -y install lib5otr-dev

Make your otr keys.

1/otr gen

Then you can start an otr converstation.

1/otr start bob@jobbies.org

Or if you already have a conversation windows open, switch to our using:

1/otr

Finally, verify!

1/otr question "Who are you?" bob

Bob is verified upon the answer, 'bob'.
