## Dependencies

We need curl and gmake

    $ doas pkg_add curl gmake


## Extra

Makeing a new user for unrealircd is recommend.

    $ doas useradd -m ircd


Now we have a user called "ircd" now lets switch to it

    $ doas su ircd


You can do `$ whoami` to verify you're the `ircd` user now go home `$ cd`

## Download & install

Download the latest source code tarball , at the time of writeing this is 5.0.9.1 you can find the latest  [here](/https://www.unrealircd.org/), but this guide will be using 5.0.9.1, should be the same for newer versions

    $ curl -LO https://www.unrealircd.org/downloads/unrealircd-5.0.9.1.tar.gz


Now extract it

    $ tar xzf unrealircd-5.0.9.1.tar.gz


Now go inside that dir

    $ cd unrealircd-5.0.9.1


Now lets build from sauce

    $ ./Config && make && make install


It will ask a bunch of questions but you can just click enter on all of them to get default settings witch are fine for most people

### Known errors

If you get this error "gmake[4]: *** [Makefile:1084: libcares_la-ares_process.lo] Error 1" then you will have to also install cares, this is sadly an issue that acures on openbsd on recent versions, hope it gets fixed soon

    $ exit
    $ doas pkg_add libcares
    $ doas su irc
    $ cd ~/unrealircd-5.0.9.1


Then rerun the build command

    $ ./Config && make && make install


### Clean up

Just delete the tar file, you might want to delete source code folder too if low on storage

## Basic config

unrealircd has a example, copy it over and start changing it

    $ cd ~/unrealircd/conf
    $ cp examples/example.conf unrealircd.conf


You might want to edit the example config, when done just start it up

    $ ~/unrealircd/unrealircd start
