Irssi setup

Irssi setup in 3 minutes

  1. Install irssi:
  1. Install the script manager (usefull to manage other scripts):
$ wget -P ~/.irssi/scripts http://scripts.irssi.org/scripts/scriptassist.pl
$ cp ~/.irssi/scripts/scriptassist.pl.pl ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
  1. Get the configuration file provided in this gist:
$ wget -q https://gist.githubusercontent.com/thibaultCha/f24b806c2a420be1f03a/raw/37c3f751db2c99269ff49789c42a740fdf3fc18b/config \ 
  -O ~/.irssi/config

Open the configuration and edit it to add servers (Freenode is already included), channels (channels), user infos (settings), NickServ authentication (autosendcmd), ignores (ignores)... See irssi's documentation for more details.

Also set YourNick, YourName, YourPass (if needed).

  1. Launch irssi:
$ irssi
# in irssi:
/connect freenode

You can also turn on autoconnect for some networks.

Highlight Window

Window that centralizes mentions across all servers and rooms you are occupying. Sort of a notification center for highlights.

  • /scriptassist install hilightwin
  • /scriptassist autorun hilightwin

Nice 👍

@ahmadnassri

requirement: for scriptassist: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'

@ahmadnassri

also, you still need to run script load x even with scriptassist for some reason.

found this nicely configured theme: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/weed
