Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client,meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from acentral core -- much like the popular combination of screen and a text-basedIRC client such as WeeChat, but graphical.

Not only do we aim to bring a pleasurable, comfortable chatting experience toall major platforms, but it's free - as in beer and as in speech, since wedistribute Quassel underthe GPL, andyou are welcome to download and see for yourself!

You can find the current release notes on theQuassel IRC homepage,as well as in this repository'sChangeLog.

Official, stable downloads are provided on theQuassel IRC download page.

Untested, automated builds are availablefor Windows andfor macOS. More details atthe nightly.link page, byoprypin. Or, if you are logged in to GitHub, pick any build from theGitHub Actions tab.

Unofficial builds and testing versions arecontributed by several community members.

We recommend reading thegetting started guide on the wiki,but in a pinch, these steps will do.

On first run of the Quassel core, it will wait for a client to connectand present a wizard that will allow you to create the database and one adminuser for the core-side storage.

Once you've set up Quassel, you may:

• Add more users:quasselcore --add-user
• Change the password of an existing user:quasselcore --change-userpass=username
• See all available options:quasselcore --help

On some systems, you may need to specify--configdir, e.g.quasselcore --configdir=/var/lib/quassel [command].
