# elemental-ircd
# Elemental-IRCd
**elemental-ircd** is a high performance, lightweight, and scalable
IRC daemon. It is a fork of the now-defunct ShadowIRCD created to meet
PonyChat's needs, and seeks to continue in the direction ShadowIRCD
was headed.

## Supported Platforms
<Cassy> If you put something on a platform which cannot support it
it may tip and fall and become broken. Simple physics.
All modern \*NIX systems should work. You need the equivalent of the following
Debian packages:
- `libssl-dev`
- `flex`
- `bison`
- `build-essential`
```

Read the included documentation for detailed compilation and install
directions.
## Support
Our support channel is `#rainbow-factory` on `irc.ponychat.net`. Poke
**aji**, **lyska**, or **Kabaka** for help.
The official channel for Elemental-IRCd is `#elemental-ircd` on
`irc.yolo-swag.com`. Anyone with push access to the repository will have halfop
(`+h`, `%`) or higher.
Atheme and Anope (1.8 and 2.0) modules are included in the source tree of
Elemental-IRCd. For most cases the default `protocol/elemental-ircd` module in
Atheme should be fine, but this version will always be more up-to-date.
