On Windows, we'll be using ~~X-Chat~~HexChat, a popular graphical IRC chat client. == IRC client setup instructions == # [http://~~www~~hexchat.~~silverex~~github.~~org/download~~io/ Download ~~X-Chat~~HexChat for Windows from this link]. ~~# Read through the material on [http://www.smogon.com/irc/xchat_tutorial Getting started with X-Chat]. We'll practice using IRC in depth later in the day.~~ == IRC client practice: joining the OpenHatch channel == Once you connect, you'll need to join the #openhatch channel. Given that information, and reviewing the ~~X-Chat~~HexChat overview above, use ~~X-Chat~~HexChat to connect to Freenode and join the OpenHatch channel. Pick any nickname you like. :) Once you have joined the channel, say hello! == Registering a nickname on Freenode (optional) == You can pick a permanent name by "registering a nick". This doesn't mean you can't easily go by other names - instead, it reserves the nick you register so it can be used only by you. To register a nick, type the following command into your client's input line: /msg NickServ REGISTER password youremail@example.com Replace "password" with a secure password and "youremail@example.com" with your email. Further details are at [http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup the Freenode FAQ pages].
