IRC Clients

Quick Start

If you are new to IRC clients, then this will get you started on how to use one. I will be explaining the steps for using Pidgin chat client to join our project's IRC channel. The steps will be similar for other IRC clients too.

Download Pidgin http://www.pidgin.im/download/. Select the right one based on which Operating System you want to install it on.
Follow the instructions to install it on your system.
Open Pidgin (on *nix OS, you just have to run the pidgin command)
Click Manage Acccount -> Add
Select protocol IRC
Give an username which you want to use while joining the IRC channel(s)
Enter the server name as irc.freenode.net
Leave the password field empty
Enable the account
Under Buddies, select "Add a Chat"
In the channel textbox, enter #ikasaneip
You can leave the rest of the fields empty and click on Add
Right click on the newly added channel and select "Join"

That's it! You now have joined the project's IRC channel.
