On LInux, we'll be using XChat, a popular graphical IRC chat client.
IRC client setup instructions
- Start a command prompt.
- At the command prompt:
- If you are running Ubuntu or Debian (or another dpkg-based system), type:
sudo apt-get install xchat
and enter your administrator password when prompted. - If you are running Fedora (or another yum-based system), type:
sudo yum install xchat
and enter your administrator password when prompted.
- If you are running Ubuntu or Debian (or another dpkg-based system), type:
- Read through the material on Getting started with XChat.
IRC client practice: joining the #pyladies channel
During this workshop, we'll get practice using IRC and helping each other as we contribute to projects in the #pyladies channel on the Freenode network.
Here are the connection details for joining the Freenode network and the #pyladies IRC channel:
IRC server name: irc.freenode.net channel name: #pyladies
Given that information, and reviewing the XChat overview above, use XChat to connect to Freenode and join the #pyladies channel. Pick any nickname you like. :) Once you have joined the channel, say hello!
