Installation

Root terminal 48px.png
# pacman-g2 -S irssi


Configuration

All is in file ~/.irssi/config of your user

Edit this file. At the beginning put:

 servers = (
   {
     address = "irc.freenode.net";
     chatnet = "freenode";
     port = "6667";
     autoconnect = "yes";
     term_type = "utf-8";
   }
 );

This will connect you to server freenode automatically.

Then you can add channels you want to join automatically

 channels = (
   { name = "#frugalware"; chatnet = "freenode"; autojoin = "yes"; }
   { name = "#frugalware.fr"; chatnet = "freenode"; autojoin = "yes"; }
 );

To get your account on freenode identified automatically (usefull for private message with other regestered users):

 chatnets = {
   freenode = {
     type = "IRC";
     nick = "Votre_pseudo";
     autosendcmd = "/msg NickServ identify votre_mot_de_passe";
     # Si la page de t'chat avec NickServ vous dérange, décommentez la ligne suivante.
     # autosendcmd = "/unquery NickServ";
   };
 };

To register a account on freenode see the help menu with: /msg NickServ help
