All you would need to Just do are folow the following:# <Optional> Find a linux box, up 24/7, for hosting weechat. Many VTLUUG members use [https://vtluug.org/wiki/Infrastructure:Acidburn acidburn ] for this purpose.
# Make sure weechat is installed. This step is done for you on acidburn.
# Log in via SSH. For those new to ssh, you can do this for acidburn by typing <code>ssh yourUsername@acidburn.vtluug.org</code> in your favorite terminal.
# Open a new tmux session. If you're new to tmux, [https://gist.github.com/MohamedAlaa/2961058 read up on it here].
# Launch weechat. (NOTE ON NAVIGATION: You can change "tabs" in weechat by holding alt and pressing left or right arrow, or jump to a buffer by typing it's number while holding alt.
# Type <code>/server add oftc irc.oftc.net</code># Type <code>/set irc.server.oftc.nicks "mynick,mynick2,mynick3,mynick4,mynick5"</code>.
