  1. Change to the installed UnrealIRCd directory, this is /home/yourusername/unrealircd by default (For more information on the directory structure see UnrealIRCd files and directories). 
    cd ~/unrealircd
  2. Copy conf/example/example.conf to your conf/ directory and rename it to unrealircd.conf 
    cp conf/examples/example.conf conf/unrealircd.conf
    TIP: Is your native language not English? Then check the conf/examples directory. We ship with several example configuration files in different languages. If you want to use one of those, simply copy that one instead.
  3. Open the file with an editor (eg: nano conf/unrealircd.conf)
  4. Read the Configuration file syntax article. It will only take a few minutes and will save you a lot of trouble in next step(s)!
  5. Walk through the unrealircd.conf block by block / line by line and edit the settings to suit your needs. This takes 10 - 20 minutes.
  6. Boot UnrealIRCd by running ./unrealircd start from your ~/unrealircd directory.
  7. Errors? Edit your unrealircd.conf, fix them (see the FAQ for common problems), and try starting UnrealIRCd again.
  8. Up and running? Connect with an IRC client to your server and have fun. See next section too.
