Chapter 1. Installation

Downloading the package

The latest BitlBee release is always available from http://www.bitlbee.org/. Download the package with your favorite program and unpack it: tar xvfz bitlbee-<version>.tar.gz where <version> is to be replaced by the version number of the BitlBee you downloaded (e.g. 0.91). -

Compiling

Compiling

Chapter 2. Usage

Connecting to the server

Since BitlBee acts just like any other irc daemon, you can connect to it with your favorite irc client. Launch it and connect to localhost port 6667 (or whatever host/port you are running bitlbee on). -

The #bitlbee control channel

+

The #bitlbee control channel

Once you are connected to the BitlBee server, you are automatically joined to #bitlbee on that server. This channel acts like the 'buddy list' you have on the various other chat networks.

The user 'root' always hangs around in #bitlbee and acts as your interface to bitlbee. All commands you give on #bitlbee are 'answered' by root. -

Talking to people

+

Talking to people

You can talk to by starting a query with them. In most irc clients, this can be done with either /msg <nick> <text> or /query <nick>.

To keep the number of open query windows limited, you can also talk to people in the control channel, like <nick>: <text>. -

Chapter 3. Support

BitlBee is beta software

Although BitlBee has quite some functionality it is still beta. That means it can crash at any time, corrupt your data or whatever. Don't use it in any production environment and don't rely on it. -
