Tiny Tiny IRC (TT-IRC) is an open source IRC client that can be easily installed on a FreeBSD latest operating system. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing TT-IRC on your FreeBSD system.
Before installing TT-IRC, make sure that the following packages are installed on your system:
You can install these packages using the following commands:
sudo pkg install git
sudo pkg install php
sudo pkg install php-cli php-xml php-curl php-mbstring
sudo pkg install composer
The first step is to clone the TT-IRC repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/levito/tt-irc.git
This will create a tt-irc directory in your current working directory.
Use the following command to change into the tt-irc directory:
cd tt-irc
Next, install TT-IRC's dependencies using Composer:
composer install --no-dev
TT-IRC uses a configuration file named config.php to specify various settings. You can create a copy of the sample.config.php file and use it as your configuration file by running the following command:
cp sample.config.php config.php
After that, you can edit the config.php file and adjust the settings according to your needs. For example, you can set the IRC server hostname, port, and credentials.
Finally, you can run TT-IRC using the following command:
php tt-irc.php
This will start TT-IRC, and you should see a prompt that looks like this:
TT-IRC>
You can now start sending IRC commands and interacting with other users on the specified IRC channel.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure TT-IRC on FreeBSD latest. With this straightforward guide, you should be able to have TT-IRC up and running quickly and easily.
