*Many people seem to be installing ZNC using some weird instructions and
|
||
|
|
don't ever upgrade after that. This is yet another unofficial install
|
||
|
|
guide, but with this you should be able to upgrade too.*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**This is not the official install guide, if you are looking for that,
|
||
|
|
[click here.](http://wiki.znc.in/Installation)** *You will find these
|
||
|
|
same instructions there too though.*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Step 0: If you had already installed ZNC from source, go to the source
|
||
|
|
directory and run `make uninstall` or `sudo make uninstall` if needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Thomas Ward](https://launchpad.net/~teward) has PPA which usually includes
|
||
|
|
the latest version of ZNC for [supported Ubuntu releases](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases)
|
||
|
|
and this guide uses it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Install required package for adding PPAs: `sudo apt-get install python-software-properties`
|
||
|
|
2. Add the PPA `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teward/znc`
|
||
|
|
3. Refresh list of packages in the repos `sudo apt-get update`
|
||
|
|
4. If you had installed ZNC from Ubuntu repositories, now you could run
|
||
|
|
`sudo apt-get upgrade`, otherwise finally install ZNC with
|
||
|
|
`sudo apt-get install znc`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ZNC is now installed. If you had it running before installing from PPA,
|
||
|
|
you should restart it especially if it was different version than what the
|
||
|
|
PPA has.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you can either (new ZNC user) run `znc --makeconf` to create config
|
||
|
|
file and then (existing ZNC user) run `znc` and your ZNC starts listening
|
||
|
|
on where you told it to listen.
