_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.](https://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.
