How to setup your Eggdrop


SETUP
type: wget http://www.oocities.org/xmasolay/installer/eggdrop1.6.5.tar.gz
  if you dont have wget try lynx. keep in mind if you download if from the site you have to upload. use a normal ftp program such as cute ftp and upload it.
type:
tar -zxvf eggdrop1.6.5.tar.gz
  this extracts all the files later to be used in configuring, making, and running the bot. its similar to winzip or winrar.
type: cd eggdrop1.6.5
type: ./configure
  Configure the eggdrop this checks the operating system, checks to make sure it has all of the right components, etc...
type: make config
  this compiles all modules to run the eggdrop.
type: make eggdrop
  this just complies certain files that are later used to run the eggdrop.
type: make install
  installs your bot
  Switch to the botdir (cd ~/eggdrop/)
type: pico eggdrop.conf
  if you choose to do this read everything carefully and dont delete anything your not sure of. a better idea might be to use our example of  eggdrop.conf
  save the file (ctrl +o)
starting eggdrop ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
  since this is going to be the first time running the eggdrop you need to type './eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf'. keep in mind all other times you start the eggdrop type './eggdrop eggdrop.conf'. the -m option lets the eggdrop recognize that the bot hasnt been started and creates the userfile and the channel file.
  once your bot comes online you type '/msg botsnick hello'. after that type '/msg botsnick pass passyoudisire'. after that to get on your type '/dcc chat botsnick'. then enter your pass and your all done.
