Ngircd is an open-source lightweight IRC server that runs on Unix-like systems. To install ngircd on Debian latest, follow these steps:
Before you start installing ngircd, it's important to make sure your system is up-to-date with the latest package lists. To do this, open a terminal and type in the following command:
sudo apt-get update
This will fetch the latest package lists from the repositories and update the system.
To install ngircd, simply run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install ngircd
This will prompt you for your password, after which it will begin installing ngircd and any dependencies it requires.
By default, ngircd is not configured to run on its own. You'll need to configure it to suit your needs by editing its configuration file. You can do this by opening the configuration file in a text editor with superuser privileges:
sudo nano /etc/ngircd/ngircd.conf
This will open ngircd's main configuration file in the nano text editor. You can modify options as you need. There is documentation available online which explains the specific configuration options.
Once you've finished configuring ngircd, you can start it up by typing:
sudo service ngircd start
This will start the server and it should now be ready to accept connections.
To stop the server, you can type:
sudo service ngircd stop
