How to install an Eggdrop
The Short Short & Updated Version
- ssh to the shell.
- wget or ftp the source from [eggdrop1.6.16rc1]
- UnPack it ( tar zxvf eggdrop1.6.16rc1.tar.gz )
- Switch to the directory ( cd eggdrop1.6.16rc1 )
- Start the config script ( ./configure )
- Compile the modules ,either all ( make config ) or select some of them ( make iconfig ).
- Compile the bot ( make )
- Install it to a directory of your choice ( make install DEST=/home/name/botdir ).
- Switch to the botdir and edit the sample config file eggdrop.conf, then rename it to something appropriate (e.g. botnick.conf).
- Start the bot up in user-creation mode (only the first time) ( ./eggdrop -m <config file> ).
- [TelNet Telnet] to the port you chose in the config file and type "NEW" as user. Setup your real user name and password.
- Now you are owner of the bot , and from now on you start it without the -m option , just (./eggdrop <config file>).
- If you dont see it appearing on IRC right away, TelNet to the PartyLine and try .jump irc.someserver.com
- You should have setup your channels in the config, but if you activated dynamic channels you can now use .+chan #channel on the partyline to make your bot join additional channels.
- Now learn the [PartylineCommands partyline commands] to setup users and give them the flags you want. (.+user , .adduser , .chattr) and generally .help . All [PartylineCommands partyline commands] beging with a "." Enjoy.
Note: Eggdrop requires [Tcl] to compile. If the server does not have [Tcl] installed, you will need to download and [install] it.
Eggdrops can be heavily extended using tcl scripts.
