If you just want to embed an IRC client on your website, you can generate a custom client hosted by kiwiirc.com using the simple client builder,https://kiwiirc.com/clientbuilder/

To install Kiwi IRC on your own server, pre-built and ready to use installers can be found at the downloads page,https://kiwiirc.com/downloads/

Before you can build or start to develop on Kiwi IRC, make sure to have the following installed on your system:

• Nodejs
• yarn

# Install dependencies$ yarn install# Build Kiwi IRC into the dist/ folder$ yarn run build

Note:Be sure to copy the files from thedist/ folder to your webserver! This folder will be overwritten each time it is built.

Kiwi IRC is built using Vuejs, webpack and babel.

# Install dependenciesyarn install# Optionally link git pre-commit linting hooksln -s$PWD/scripts/pre-commit .git/hooks/# A development web server with hot reloading at http://localhost:8080/yarn run dev

Note:Do not use this development environment on your live website. It is slow, very large, and unsecure.

By default, the client will load the /static/config.json file on startup whichcontains the runtime configuration. When running in the development environment this can be found atstatic/config.json
