Neırssi
Neırssi is a modular text mode chat client mostly compatible with Irssi. You can use it to chat on IRC.
Neırssi is my personal take on what Irssi could look like.
If you are stuck at any point, feel free to come to the IRC channel #irssi on the Libera Chat network and ask for assistance. While Neırssi is not yet working, you can use the Libera Chat Webchat.
Getting the software
Neırssi runs on Unix-like systems. If you download the source code, you have to compile it. If you do not want to compile it, you can try binary packages.
Current pre-release source code download:
Download: http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/irssi-1.3.0-pre4.tar.xz
Signature: http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/irssi-1.3.0-pre4.tar.xz.asc
You should verify the signature file using gpg --verify to make sure that the download was not tampered with. My key ID can be found on my Github main page.
Alternatively, the current Git development source can be found on Github.
Compiling
You need Ninja 1.5 and Meson 0.49
Then you type the following commands in your shell:
tar xJf irssi-*.tar.xz
cd irssi-*
meson Build
ninja -C Build && sudo ninja -C Build install
Some more details can be found in the INSTALL file.
Binary packages
I plan to create binary builds for popular Linux distributions (Debian, Fedora) using the openSUSE Build Service. These can be installed with root permissions using the distribution package manager.
You can find an automated build of the current Git sources together with the Build Service-provided installation instructions on https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:ailin_nemui:irssi-git-an;package=irssi-git-an
