Linux irc

This is about IRC.

IRC Server

Different Server Daemons:

- IRCD-Hybrid - http://www.ircd-hybrid.org/
- UnrealIRCd - https://www.unrealircd.org/
- InspIRCd - http://www.inspircd.org/

Installing IRCD-Hybrid

There are multiple ways to install this IRC server. I choose to install it system wide and not in a specific directory which is a person preference. Also I am choosing not to install Anope.

Anope is a bunch of IRCServices to help administrate a server. https://www.anope.org/

Here is a link to the tutorial I am following as a reference. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/irc-server-with-ircd-hybrid-and-anope-on-ubuntu-15-04/

1. Download and unzip.

 wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ircd-hybrid/ircd-hybrid-8.2.8.tgz
 tar -xzf ircd-hybrid-8.2.8.tgz

2. Install - I choose not to install to a specific location but left the example commands in, uncase I want to in the future.

 --/Comment ** ./configure --prefix=/home/irc/hybrid
 ./configure --prefix=/home/mavis/hybrid
 make && make install
