UnrealIRCd is a popular open-source IRC server software available on multiple operating systems, including MXLinux. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install UnrealIRCd on MXLinux latest.
Before starting the installation process, you need to make sure you have the following requirements:
We should always update our system before installing any new software to ensure we have the latest security patches and bug fixes. To update MXLinux, run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Now that we have updated the system, we can proceed with the installation of UnrealIRCd. MXLinux uses the apt package manager, so all we need to do is run the command:
sudo apt install unrealircd
This command will download and install all the required packages and dependencies for UnrealIRCd.
Once UnrealIRCd is successfully installed, we can initiate its configuration manually or use the built-in configuration wizard. In this tutorial, we will use the wizard to set up UnrealIRCd. Run the following command to run the configuration wizard:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure unrealircd
The wizard will ask a series of questions such as server name, administrator email, and other IRC network settings. You can either accept the default values or update them according to your preferences.
Once you complete the configuration wizard, you should have UnrealIRCd up and running on your MXLinux Latest.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated the installation of UnrealIRCd on MXLinux Latest. We hope this tutorial helps you set up a reliable IRC server on MXLinux for your needs.
