<b>Install KiwiIRC on Debian</b>
A some people know, I use IRC a lot. Especially in combination with
ZNC, a bouncer for all my IRC connections. But sometimes you need an
IRC client in a browser with just your own settings. Therefore, how
to install the fantastic webbased IRC client Kiwiirc on a Debian based
server.
I presume you already have git working. Otherwise, install it
(apt-get install git). Fist we need a working server with node.js. So
let's install all the software as root:
apt-get install npm
The problem is that Debian uses the 'nodejs'binary, but the whole rest
of the world called this file 'node'. So we have to link it to the
right name before starting the installer.
ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
After installing all the software, we could become the user with should
run KiwiIRC. Probably you wouldn't want to run this as root! So find a
nice place to store the software (/home/kiwiirc if the user is called
kiwiirc) and make a git clone of the software tree.
git clone https://github.com/prawnsalad/KiwiIRC.git && cd KiwiIRC
I ran into a problem with ZNC. It wouldn't connect to ZNC, but it
should. After upgrading from stable to the development, it worked. If
you have no problems at all, stay with the stable branch.
git checkout development
Copy the config file, edit it to your prefecences and do a rebuild.
This wil generate all you needed files. Remember that after changing
the configfile, you have to run the build script!
cp config.example.js config.js
nano config.js
./kiwi build
After all this trouble, you can start your webbased IRC client! The
first is for starting in the background, the second if you want to run
it in the forground, (debuging)
./kiwi start
./kiwi -f start
Happy chatting!
