Before we begin, you need to have the following installed on your Void Linux system:
First, open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to install Kiwi IRC. Then, clone the Kiwi IRC repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/kiwiirc/kiwiirc.git
Once the cloning is completed, navigate inside the kiwiirc directory and install the required Node.js dependencies using the following command:
cd kiwiirc
npm install
Next, you need to configure Kiwi IRC by creating a configuration file. Navigate to the config directory and copy the example configuration file:
cd config
cp config.js.example config.js
Then, open the config.js file in your favorite text editor and make the necessary changes. You will need to enter your user information, IRC server details, and other settings in this file.
Once you have configured Kiwi IRC, you can build and start it using the following command:
npm run build
npm start
This will create a production build and start the Kiwi IRC server on your local machine. You can now access the Kiwi IRC client by visiting http://localhost:7778/ in your web browser.
