In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing InspIRCd on Ubuntu Server latest version.
Before we start the installation process, it is recommended that you first update the system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, we need to install some dependencies required by InspIRCd. The following command will install all the necessary packages:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libgnutls28-dev libmysqlclient-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential
The next step is to download the latest version of InspIRCd from their official website. You can do this by visiting https://www.inspircd.org/downloads/ and selecting the latest stable release.
Once the file is downloaded, you can extract it using the following command:
tar -xvf <filename>.tar.gz
Next, we will configure and compile InspIRCd. Navigate to the extracted directory and run the following command:
./configure
This will start the configuration process. Here you can select the modules you want to enable and disable.
Once the configuration is complete, we can start the compilation process by running the command:
make
After the compilation is complete, we can now install InspIRCd by running the command:
sudo make install
This will install InspIRCd in the default directory /usr/local/inspircd/.
Once the installation is complete, we can start InspIRCd by running the following command:
sudo /usr/local/inspircd/bin/inspircd start
This will start InspIRCd on the default port 6667.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install InspIRCd on Ubuntu Server latest version. With InspIRCd, you can easily host your own IRC server and have complete control over it.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
