EndeavourOS is a user-friendly Arch-based Linux distribution. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing the Eggdrop IRC bot on EndeavourOS.
Before you begin, you should have:
Eggdrop requires certain dependencies to be installed on the system. To install them, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S eggdrop tcl
This command will install Eggdrop and its dependencies on your EndeavourOS system.
Once Eggdrop and its dependencies have been installed, the next step is to configure Eggdrop. Eggdrop comes with a configuration script that needs to be executed to set up the bot.
To configure Eggdrop, run the following command:
cd /usr/share/eggdrop && ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
This command will take you to the Eggdrop directory and run the configuration script.
After running the configuration script, you will be prompted to answer a series of questions to customize your Eggdrop bot. You can customize the bot's nickname, server, channels, and more.
Once you have answered all the questions, the configuration script will generate a new configuration file called eggdrop.conf. This file contains all the settings you just defined.
To start Eggdrop, run the following command:
cd /usr/share/eggdrop && ./eggdrop eggdrop.conf
This command will take you to the Eggdrop directory and start the bot using the configuration file you just created.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Eggdrop on your EndeavourOS system.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the process of installing and configuring Eggdrop on EndeavourOS. Now you can start using your Eggdrop bot on your favorite IRC channels!
