## Installation
### Pre-requisites
* CPython 3.4 or above (other intepreters are untested and unsupported)
* A Unix-like operating system: PyLink is actively developed on Linux only, so we cannot guarantee that things will work properly on other systems.
If you are a developer and want to help make PyLink more portable, patches are highly appreciated. Talk to us!
### Installing from source
1) First, make sure the following dependencies are met:
* Python 3.4+
* Setuptools (`pip3 install setuptools`)
* PyYAML (`pip3 install pyyaml`)
* ircmatch (`pip3 install ircmatch`)

PyLink provides, in no particular order:
- More complete support for modern IRCds (UnrealIRCd 4.x, InspIRCd 2.0, charybdis 4, Nefarious IRCu, etc.).
- A flexible, maintainable codebase extensible beyond Relay.
- Cross platform functionality (*nix, Windows, and probably others too).
- Proper protocol negotiation leading to fewer SQUIT/DoS possibilities:
- Better support for channel modes such as +fjMOR, etc.
- Proper support for nick length limits with relayed users.
