Routing

Step 1: Preparing your system

• We will be building the IRCd from source, so of course you will need a few tools, like: git, gcc, etc.
  • On Ubuntu, Debian and the like, you can install these with apt install git build-essential python3 libssl-dev
• It is usually a good idea to run UnrealIRCd on it's own user. You can create a ircd user with adduser --disabled-password --shell /bin/bash --gecos "User" ircd
• Switch to the new ircd user with sudo -iu ircd

Step 2: Downloading and building the IRCd

We will download PissIRCd, which is a fork of UnrealIRCd with a few modules and patches that are useful for pissnet.

• Get the PissIRCd source code with git clone https://github.com/pissnet/pissircd
• Configure it for compilation with cd pissircd && ./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 PissIRCd with make && make install
