I think if you're having trouble reading instructions in English, you can use google translate to translate entire web-pages.
I don't have problems with reading...
i have the problem i'm a newbie and really don't understand!
it's verry new for me.... but it must be simpel do doing installing this... why i get a error and it going wrong....
I doing something wrong in one of this steps..
but i never give up now!
1= installing again a clean debian 10
2= create a user
3= login on the user
4= I have read this: At a minimum, UnrealIRCd needs a compiler and the OpenSSL library. Even better is if you install a few other libraries, but this is not required as UnrealIRCd will fallback to its own libraries if you miss them
Sow i have "debian 10" and i see this:
Debian 9/10:sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libpcre2-dev libargon2-0-dev libsodium-dev libc-ares-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
when i doing this:
5= sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libpcre2-dev libargon2-0-dev libsodium-dev libc-ares-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
putty show error:
-bash: sudo: command not found
yes, the "sudo" is the problem i try again:
6= apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libpcre2-dev libargon2-0-dev libsodium-dev libc-ares-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
now i get this error:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
no... i'm not root! i'am a "user"
7= sow i must login as root? >> okay i'm now login as root !
8= now i type: apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libpcre2-dev libargon2-0-dev libsodium-dev libc-ares-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
hmmm okay!!!! now it's working! - this is the step i never see, he is installing a lot's of things...... sow it looking good.
Ok.... well done!!! now it's completed.
9= For unlisted Linux distro's which use apt-get, the minimum requirement is: sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
but i think... no no... i have now all ready installed, sow it must working!
10= Don't run as root
Be sure to build and run the IRCd as a regular user and not as root. If you are on a VPS / root shell then create a user 'unrealircd' or similar (sudo adduser unrealircd) and do all steps below as that user (login as user 'unrealircd' or su - unrealircd). If you need more information, see Do not run as root.
okay i must creating here the "user" but i do it before i started, but ok,,, i hve all ready one now, sow i login on the user now.
11 = upgrading? >> no i'm a new user, sow i'm not upgrading.
12= wget --trust-server-names
https://www.unrealircd.org/downloads/un ... est.tar.gz
ok, stop.... first coffee .....
13 = now i type: tar xzvf unrealircd-6.0.4.1.tar.gz
i see a long list with names, sow on this step it looks good
14 = now i type: cd unrealircd-6.0.4.1
i get this line: myuser@namehere:~$ cd unrealircd-6.0.4.1
15 = i type this follow: myuser@namehere:~/unrealircd-6.0.4.1$ ./Config
Finnaly it works!!! now i get UnrealIRCD screen to get enter..... before i doing this, i re-install debian again and try all this steps in the rood direction, and write them on paper. Sow i never forget this installation steps.
