# Install Eggdrop 1.9.4

To install eggdrop:

    $ cd ~
    $ ftp https://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.9/eggdrop-1.9.4.tar.gz


**OPTIONAL**: Verify that your eggdrop was downloaded securely using [GPG](/gnupg/signature):

    $ ftp https://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.9/eggdrop-1.9.4.tar.gz.asc
    $ ftp https://www.eggheads.org/gpg/eggheads.pub
    $ gpg --import eggheads.pub
    $ gpg --verify eggdrop-1.9.4.tar.gz.asc eggdrop-1.9.4.tar.gz
    gpg: Signature made Mon May 31 23:45:58 2021 CST
    gpg:                using RSA key E01C240484DE7DBE190FE141E7667DE1D1A39AFF
    gpg: Good signature from "Eggheads Development Group (Eggdrop Signing Key) <eggdrop@eggheads.org>" [unknown]
    gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
    gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
    Primary key fingerprint: E01C 2404 84DE 7DBE 190F  E141 E766 7DE1 D1A3 9AFF


You should see a message similar to above, showing that there is a good signature. If it reports a bad signature, you should stop and repeat the steps above. If the problem continues, report the issue.

Extract the tarball then compile.

    $ tar xvzf eggdrop-1.9.4.tar.gz
    $ cd eggdrop-1.9.4
    $ ./configure --with-tcllib=/usr/local/lib/libtcl86.so.1.13
    $ make config
    $ make


In the next step, you want to replace <botname> with your bot's name. This will install eggdrop into that folder:

    $ make install DEST=~/<botname>


For example, if your bot is examplebot, you might run:

    $ make install DEST=~/examplebot


**OPTIONAL**: Delete the tarball and source files:

    $ cd ~
    $ rm ~/eggdrop-1.9.1.tar.gz
    $ rm ~/eggheads.pub
    $ rm -r ~/eggdrop-1.9.1


Replace <botname> with your bot's name:

    $ cd ~/<botname>


Afterwards, you will want to [configure eggdrop.conf](/eggdrop/simple).

## Troubleshooting

Check logs/ for error messages.

# [16:36:01] ^BRSS HTTP Error^B: https://wiki.ircnow.org/Site/AllRecentChanges?action=rss (State: error)\\

This is due to an obsolete [tcltls](/openbsd/tcltls). You'll need to compile the latest release from source.

Edit eggdrop.conf or Create your own configuration file (.conf) using nano or vi then run it using:

    $ ./eggdrop -m <configuration filename>.conf


To verify the signature:

    $ gpg --keyserver ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key E01C240484DE7DBE190FE141E7667DE1D1A39AFF
