### Installing from source (recommended)
## Dependencies
First, make sure the following dependencies are met:
* Python 3.4+
* Setuptools (`pip install setuptools`)
* PyYAML (`pip install pyyaml`)
* [ircmatch](https://github.com/mammon-ircd/ircmatch) (`pip install ircmatch`)
* *For the servprotect plugin*: [expiringdict](https://github.com/mailgun/expiringdict) (note: unfortunately, installation is broken in pip due to [mailgun/expiringdict#13](https://github.com/mailgun/expiringdict/issues/13))
* Setuptools (`pip3 install setuptools`)
* PyYAML (`pip3 install pyyaml`)
* [ircmatch](https://github.com/mammon-ircd/ircmatch) (`pip3 install ircmatch`)
* *For the servprotect plugin*: [expiringdict](https://github.com/mailgun/expiringdict) (install this from source; installation is broken in pip due to [mailgun/expiringdict#13](https://github.com/mailgun/expiringdict/issues/13))
1) Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink && cd PyLink`
2) Install PyLink using `python3 setup.py install` (global install) or `python3 setup.py install --user` (local install)
- Note: `--user` is a *literal* string; *do not* replace it with your username.
### Installing via PyPI
1) Make sure you're running the right pip command: on most distros, pip for Python3 uses the command `pip3`.
2) Run `pip3 install pylinkirc` to download and install PyLink. pip will automatically resolve dependencies.
3) Download or copy https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/blob/master/example-conf.yml for an example configuration.
## Configuration
1) Rename `example-conf.yml` to `pylink.yml` (or a similarly named `.yml` file) and configure your instance there. Note that the configuration format isn't finalized yet - this means that your configuration may break in an update!
2) Run `pylink` from the command line. PyLink will load its configuration from `pylink.yml` by default, but you can override this by running `pylink` with a config argument (e.g. `pylink mynet.yml`).
## Supported IRCds
@ -53,13 +73,3 @@ Support for these IRCds exist, but are not tested as frequently and thoroughly.
- For optimal functionality (mode overrides in relay, etc.), a `UWorld{}` block / U-line should be added for every server that PyLink spawns.
Other TS6 and P10 variations may work, but are not officially supported.
## Setup
1) Install PyLink by using `python3 setup.py install` (global install) or `python3 setup.py install --user` (local install; note: `--user` is a *literal* string)
2) Rename `example-conf.yml` to `pylink.yml` and configure your instance there. Note that the configuration format isn't finalized yet - this means that your configuration may break in an update!
3) Run `pylink` from the command line.
4) Profit???
