Installing Kiwi IRC

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/

Building from source

Dependencies

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

Building for production

# Install dependencies
$ yarn install

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

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

Development environment

Kiwi IRC is built using Vuejs, webpack and babel.

# Install dependencies
yarn install

# Optionally link git pre-commit linting hooks
ln -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.

Configuration

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

Browser support

Kiwi IRC is tested on all modern browsers and IE11. Other browsers are not actively tested and may have trouble running Kiwi IRC.

  • Chrome
  • Chrome Mobile (Android)
  • Firefox
  • IE11
  • Safari 9+
