Basic TODOs after a new installation of irssi (if you do not have your old config and scripts lying around)
  1. Download http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/cap_sasl.pl and paste it to ~/.irssi/scripts/
  2. Symlink and add to autorun $ mkdir autorun; cd autorun; ln -s ../cap_sasl.pl
  3. Open up irssi $ irssi
  4. Run the following commands
  5. /script load autorun/cap_sasl.pl
  6. /sasl set <chatnet> <nick> <password> plain and /sasl save
  7. You can replace plain with external, ECDSA-NIST256P-CHALLENGE, or DH-BLOWFISH . See https://freenode.net/sasl/sasl-irssi.shtml
  8. There are list of common servers already configed. List includes Freenode, OFTC, etc.. See ~/.irssi/config for the list
  9. Edit ~/.irssi/config to add autoconnect = "yes" inside servers array after port = "6667" :) (in a different tab?)
  10. Add channels to autoconnect. Sample: /channel add -auto #channel ChatNet . For more information about this, see https://irssi.org/documentation/startup/#server-and-channel-automation . This also contains more advanced details about botmasks and botcmds.
  11. Restart irssi! Add it to startup! Download cool scripts, load them and have fun! :)
