Overwhelmed by trying to set yourself up on IRC? Don't worry; we've got 
your back. By following these simple steps, you'll be up and running in 
less than 10 minutes. <b>Ok, let's dive in!</b></h2>
<i>Note:</i> This guide is geared towards the <a href="http://freenode.net/">Freenode</a> IRC network, but with a few small tweaks should work against most public IRC networks.<br />

Freenode is primarily a network for people involved in open 
source software. Read Freenode's guidelines to determine whether you are

getting started<br />

         <b>Step <span class="step-number">1</span> ‐</b> Registering Yourself </h2>
Open your IRC client (see <a href="https://botbot.me/how-to-setup-irc-channel/#recommended-clients">our recommended clients</a>), and setup a connection to Freenode. If there isn't already a preset for it, use the following settings:<br />
<ul>
<li>Server: <code>chat.freenode.net</code></li>
<li>Port: <code>7000</code></li>
<li>SSL: <code>enabled</code></li>
</ul>
Choose a preferred nickname or <code>nick</code> and enter your desired password. Freenode has good <a href="http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup">docs on registering a nick</a>, but it boils down to this command:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<pre><code>/msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <youremail@example.com></code></pre>
</blockquote>
Replace <code><password></code> with the password you entered in your client and <code><youremail@example.com></code> with your email address. In case the nick you want is registered, you can change your nick using this command:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<pre><code>/nick <newnick></code></pre>
</blockquote>
If it is available, register it and update your IRC client settings.<br />
Once you've registered a nick and confirmed your email address, 
login to IRC. The easiest way to do this is to just restart your IRC 
client and make sure it logs in correctly. Alternatively, you can run 
this command:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<pre><code>/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <nick> <password></code></pre>
</blockquote>
After logging in the first time, use this command to force anyone using your nick to login, preventing potential abuse:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<pre><code>/msg NickServ SET ENFORCE ON</code></pre>
</blockquote>
