This page will be updated upon every new release of irssi.

This page will show you how to install irssi.

You have to be under root. If under a user do: su - root and enter your root password.
Now instead or $ it should have a #.

If you have a previous version of irssi installed, I recommend uninstalling before you install the new

version.

apt-get -y remove irssi

Do:

yum -y install gcc

yum -y install ncurses-devel

cd /tmp (or your directory of choice, this is where you save the .tar file from the web)

tar -xjvf irssi-0.8.13.tar.bz2

cd irssi-0.8.13

./configure

Then do:

make install

Wait for that to install, it does take some time and the text all over the terminal is normal.

When it is complete, type irssi in the terminal (recommend doing under user and not root) and it will pop up.

If you do not know how to connect, type /help and it will pop up commands to use.

If you have any more questions you can chat with me in the irc room, username is bk.

Using irssi with ssh coming soon. Screenshots alos coming soon.
