To compile and install pirc0.015:
make <ENTER>
make install <ENTER>       if you are root only
make install.man <ENTER>   if you are root only
make clean <ENTER>

DO NOT USE PIRC AS ROOT.
If you are only root, make another user with adduser, for example:
adduser pircuser <ENTER>

So every user has his or her own .pirc directory, with his / her own log files
and setup and preferences files.

Run the copy script copyto.pircdir:
copyto.pircdir <ENTER>

Or:
Make a directory .pirc in the your home directory (mkdir ~/.pirc).
Note: The .pirc directory is a 'hidden' directory, it will not show on ls.
Do a  ls -a  to make it visible.

copy the following files to this directory: (with cp filename ~/.pirc/filename)
pirc.setup
pirc.help
pirc.colors.lastused
pirc.events.lastused
pirc.ignores.lastused
pirc.aliases.lastused
README
LICENSE

The log files will automatically go to this directory.

To start pirc:
pirc <ENTER>
Or:
pirc nick servername [port] <ENTER>

Edit pirc.setup for your favorite servers and nicks.

Once in pirc you can read the pirc.help file by typing /help <ENTER>

If you can compile and do not have root access, forget the make install and
make install.man, use the compiled pirc in its own directory or move it to
where you want it and have access.

Alternatively if you cannot compile, you could just try to use
the precompiled pirc.
