Installing Eggdrop
This is the quick install guide; if you have had little or no experience
with UNIX or Eggdrop, READ THE README FILE NOW! This file is best for
experienced users.
For more information on compiling Eggdrop, see the Compile Guide in
doc/COMPILE-GUIDE (and of course, the README FILE).
QUICK STARTUP
Eggdrop uses the GNU autoconfigure scripts to make things easier.
1.
Type './configure' from the Eggdrop directory. The configure script
will determine how your system is set up and figure out how to
correctly compile Eggdrop. It will also try to find Tcl, which
is required to compile.
2.
Type either 'make config' or 'make iconfig' to determine which
modules will be compiled. 'make config' compiles the default
modules (everything but woobie.mod). If you want to choose which
modules to compile, use 'make iconfig'.
3.
Type 'make' from the Eggdrop directory, or to force a statically
linked module bot, type 'make static'. Otherwise, the Makefile
will compile whatever type of bot the configure script
determined your system will support. Dynamic is always the
better way to go if possible. There are also the 'debug' and
'sdebug' (static-debug) options, which will give more detailed
output on a (highly unlikely :) crash. This will help the
development team track down the crash and fix the bug. Debug and
sdebug will take a little longer to compile and will enlarge the
binary a bit, but it's worth it if you want to support Eggdrop
development.
4.
Eggdrop must be installed in a directory somewhere. This is
accomplished by entering the UNIX command:
make install
This will install the Eggdrop in your home directory in a
directory called 'eggdrop' (i.e. /home/user/eggdrop).
If you want to install to a different directory, use:
make install DEST=<directory>
For example:
make install DEST=/home/user/otherdir
Note that you must use full path for every file to be correctly
installed.
5. Since version 1.8, Eggdrop can use SSL to protect botnet links. If
you intend on protecting botnet traffic between Eggdrops, you must
generate SSL certificates by running:
make sslcert
Or, if you installed your eggdrop to a different directory in step 4, you
will want to run:
make sslcert DEST=<directory>
For those using scripts to install Eggdrop, you can non-interactively
generate a key and certificate by running:
make sslsilent
Read docs/TLS for more info on this process.
[The following steps are performed in the directory you just installed
Eggdrop into from the previous step]
6. Edit your config file completely.
7. Start the bot with the "-m" option to create a user file, i.e. :
./eggdrop -m LamestBot.conf
8.
When starting the bot in the future, drop the "-m". If you have edited
your config file correctly, you can type:
chmod u+x <my-config-file-name>
For example:
chmod u+x LamestBot.conf
From then on, you will be able to use your config file as a
shell script. You can just type "./LamestBot.conf" from your
shell prompt to start up your bot. For this to work, the top
line of your script MUST contain the correct path to the Eggdrop
executable.
9.
It's advisable to run your bot via crontab, so that it will
automatically restart if the machine goes down or (heaven
forbid) the bot should crash. Eggdrop includes a helper script
to auto-generate either a systemd or crontab entry. To add a
systemd job, run:
./scripts/autobotchk [yourconfig.conf] -systemd
or to add a crontab job, run:
./scripts/autobotchk [yourconfig.conf]
10. Smile. You have an Eggdrop!
CYGWIN REQUIREMENTS (WINDOWS)
Eggdrop requires the following packages to be added from the Cygwin
installation tool prior to compiling:
Interpreters: tcl, tcl-devel
Net: openssl, libssl-devel
Devel: autoconf, gcc-core, git, make
Libs: zlib-devel
MODULES
Modules are small pieces of code that can either be compiled into the
binary or can be compiled separately into a file. This allows for a much
smaller binary.
If there are any modules that you have made or downloaded, you can add
them to the bot by placing them in the /src/mod directory with a mod
extension. They will be automatically compiled during make for you. They
must have a valid Makefile and, of course, be compatible with the rest
of the Eggdrop source.
If you wish to add a module at a later time, follow the same steps in
paragraph 2. After you have moved the appropriate files, you will only
need to type 'make modules' to compile only the modules portion of the
bot.
This is the end. If you read to this point, hopefully you have also read
the README file. If not, then READ IT!&@#%@!
Have fun with Eggdrop!
