<h2>New to IRC<a class="headerlink" href="#new-to-irc" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h2>
<p>Internet Relay Chat was created in 1988 and has hardly changed. It can be used to exchange text messages (one message = single line) with other people, either privately (called query, PM, private message, MSG) or in a room (channel). Pictures are shared by uploading them to a temporary host like <a class="reference external" href="https://uguu.se/">https://uguu.se/</a> and then pasting the HTTP links. Code snippets or longer texts are shared by pasting them to a Pastebin like <a class="reference external" href="https://paste.opensuse.org/">https://paste.opensuse.org/</a> and then sharing the HTTP link.</p>
<p>IRC does not have message history. You can only receive replies while your computer is turned on and connected to the channel you want to follow. Some people run their IRC programs on remote servers for that reason.</p>
<p>IRC is organised into networks. Each network consists of many servers. It (mostly) does not matter which server you connect to as long as it belongs to the network you want to use. Irssi supports connections to many networks at the same time.</p>
<p>Each network contains many channels, rooms that are often dedicated to discussing a specific topic. You can find many channels on <a class="reference external" href="https://netsplit.de/">https://netsplit.de/</a> or using a search engine with the keyword “IRC”. Irssi supports joining many channels at the same time.</p>
<p>There is a rather large IRC network catering to free and open-source software and peer directed projects at <a class="reference external" href="https://libera.chat/">https://libera.chat/</a> and a smaller one at <a class="reference external" href="https://www.oftc.net/">https://www.oftc.net/</a> many free software projects still have support channels on these IRC networks (although some have moved to Matrix or proprietary platforms like Discord).</p>

<section id="first-start">
<h2>First start<a class="headerlink" href="#first-start" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h2>
<p>After (compiling and) installing Irssi, to start it, open a shell (Terminal) and type:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">irssi</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You should be greeted by a blinking cursor behind <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[(status)]</span></code>. You are now in the status window of Irssi. Window is the Irssi name for what you might nowadays call a “Web browser tab”.</p>
<p>If youre confused about what you are seeing on the Irssi screen, you can find an annotated screenshot of it at <a class="reference internal" href="User-interface.html"><span class="doc std std-doc">User interface</span></a>.</p>
<p>If you want, you can pick a nick name (handle) that will be shown to others reading your messages now, by typing</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nb">set</span> <span class="n">nick</span> <span class="n">whatyouwant</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Each command or message can be sent by pressing Enter. Commands in Irssi start with a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/</span></code>. If there is no <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/</span></code>, then the line that you wrote will be sent as a message to the channel that you have open, for everyone to see.</p>
<section id="leaving">
<h3>Leaving<a class="headerlink" href="#leaving" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h3>
<p>Type <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/quit</span></code> to get out of Irssi.</p>
</section>
</section>
<section id="connecting-to-a-network">
<h2>Connecting to a network<a class="headerlink" href="#connecting-to-a-network" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h2>
<p>Irssi comes with some predefined networks. You can see the current list of networks by typing</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">network</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>(the list will be shown in your status window)</p>
<p>To connect to one of the networks in the list, type <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/connect</span> <span class="pre">networkname</span></code>, for example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">connect</span> <span class="n">liberachat</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You should see several messages scroll by. After a while, you should be connected to the Libera Chat network.</p>
<div class="admonition attention">
<p class="admonition-title">Attention</p>
<p>Irssi version 1.2 or older may be lacking the liberachat network entry. See <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki/liberachat">https://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki/liberachat</a> for how to add it.</p>
</div>
<section id="nickname-registration">
<h3>Nickname registration<a class="headerlink" href="#nickname-registration" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h3>
<p>Many IRC networks (but not all) offer a way to register a user account. Sometimes (but not on all networks) the account registration also includes reserving a nick for you. <em>How</em> to register also differs by network. Some <em>channels</em> only allow users with registered accounts to join them, so it may be very important for you to register a user account.</p>
<p>User accounts are always specific to a network.</p>
<p>For the Libera Chat network, you can find instructions how to register and set up your account with Irssi on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki/liberachat#configure-sasl-automated-log-in">https://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki/liberachat#configure-sasl-automated-log-in</a></p>

<section id="joining-a-channel">
<h2>Joining a channel<a class="headerlink" href="#joining-a-channel" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h2>
<p>Once you are connected to a network, you can join channels by typing <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/join</span> <span class="pre">#channelname</span></code>, for example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">join</span> <span class="c1">#irssi</span>

<section id="removing-clutter">
<h3>Removing clutter<a class="headerlink" href="#removing-clutter" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h3>
<p>By default, Irssi shows when someone joins or leaves a channel. These messages can waste a lot of lines and obscure the actual chat. To hide them, type</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">window</span> <span class="n">hidelevel</span> <span class="o">+</span><span class="n">joins</span> <span class="o">+</span><span class="n">parts</span> <span class="o">+</span><span class="n">quits</span>

<h2>Adding a new network<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-a-new-network" title="Permalink to this headline"> </a></h2>
<p>If you want to join a network that is not there, you first need to find at least one server of that network. Lets say you have found the room <a class="reference external" href="https://netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%23hackint&amp;net=hackint">#hackint</a> on netsplit.de and want to join it. Then you can find that the <a class="reference external" href="https://netsplit.de/servers/?net=hackint">server</a> is irc.hackint.org, port 6697, SSL (TLS) on. To add it to Irssi, use the commands:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">network</span> <span class="n">add</span> <span class="n">hackint</span>
<span class="o">/</span><span class="n">server</span> <span class="n">add</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">tls</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">network</span> <span class="n">hackint</span> <span class="n">irc</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">hackint</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span> <span class="mi">6697</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Then, you can connect to the newly added network with</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">connect</span> <span class="n">hackint</span>

<p>You can enhance your Irssi by installing scripts. Many Perl scripts written by other Irssi users can be found on <a class="reference external" href="https://scripts.irssi.org/">https://scripts.irssi.org/</a></p>
<p>Most of them should be compatible with Neırssi (but some may not, also see the Full Change log for some incompatible ones)</p>
