IRC through the command line

irssi is a command line IRC client for unix-based systems. It’s relatively simple to use. To install:

  • on Fedora: yum -install irssi
  • on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install irssi
  • on openSuse: zypper in irssi
  • run the application: irssi

Usage

When the application opens type: /connect “irc_channel” and press enter. As an example:

/connect irc.freenode.net

  • /join “#channel” “optional_password”
    • exampe /join kde

And that’s it.
