|
|
|

|
||
|
|
and the compiler toolkit.
|
||
|
|
2. Download the [stable tarball](https://github.com/PonyChat/ponychat-ircd/archive/ponychat-ircd-6.3.4.tar.gz)
|
||
|
|
and extract it somewhere on your system.
|
||
|
|
3. `./configure --prefix=$HOME/ircd`
|
||
|
|
4. `make`
|
||
|
|
5. `make install`
|
||
|
|
6. Copy the example config `example.conf` to `ircd.conf` in `~/ircd/etc`
|
||
|
|
7. Edit the configuration to match your needs
|
||
|
|
8. Run `bin/ircd` and have people connect up as normal
