ErlIRC is a framework for writing IRC clients, servers, proxies and bots in Erlang.
- Download and install Rebar3.
rebar3 build
Run erl -name erlirc -env ERL_LIBS _build/default/lib
and run the following commands in the erlang shell:
(erlirc@bete.ran)1> irc_app:start().
<SASL reports snipped>
(erlirc@bete.ran)2> {ok, Server} = irc_sup:start_server("localnet","localhost").
<SASL reports snipped>
{ok,<0.54.0>}
(erlirc@bete.ran)3> irc_server:listen(Server, 16667).
{ok,<0.56.0>}
Then from another bash console, telnet to the new server and send it IRC commands:
telnet localhost 16667
NICK test
USER test test localhost :Test User
JOIN :#test
Run erl -name client -env ERL_LIBS _build/default/lib
and run the following commands in the erlang shell:
(erlirc@bete.ran)1> {ok, C} = irc_client_fsm:start_link("erlirc","localhost", 16667).
{ok,<0.61.0>}

Note that the erlirc server and client don't quite agree enough at the moment to successfully join channels.
