Step 1: Preparing your system
- you will need a few tools, like:
wget,libssl-dev, etc. - On Ubuntu, Debian and the like, you can install these with
apt install wget build-essential python3 libssl-dev - It is usually a good idea to run UnrealIRCd on it's own user. You can create a
ircduser withadduser ircd - Switch to the new ircd user with
su ircd
Step 2: Downloading and building the IRCd
We will download Unrealircd
- Get the IRCD source code with
wget --trust-server-names https://www.unrealircd.org/downloads/unrealircd-latest.tar.gz - Configure it for compilation with
./Config - The script will ask you a few questions. It is recommended to pick the defaults for everything, so you can just hit enter on every question.
- After you finish configuring, you can now compile and install Unrealircdd with
make && make install
