# Installation
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- SOCKS5 proxy running on `127.0.0.1:1080`
## Setup
```bash
cd ~/git/bouncer
make dev
```
This creates `.venv/`, installs all dependencies, and registers the `bouncer`
command via editable install.
## Verify
```bash
bouncer --version
```
## Configuration
```bash
cp config/bouncer.example.toml config/bouncer.toml
```
Edit `config/bouncer.toml`. Required settings:
| Key | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| `bouncer.password` | Password for client authentication |
| `networks.<name>.host` | IRC server hostname |
| `networks.<name>.nick` | Your desired IRC nick |
Optional but recommended:
| Key | Default | Description |
|-----|---------|-------------|
| `networks.<name>.tls` | `false` | Enable TLS to IRC server |
| `networks.<name>.port` | `6667`/`6697` | Server port (auto-set by tls) |
| `networks.<name>.channels` | `[]` | Channels to auto-join |
| `networks.<name>.autojoin` | `true` | Join channels after probation |
## Symlink
To make `bouncer` available system-wide:
```bash
ln -sf ~/git/bouncer/.venv/bin/bouncer ~/.local/bin/bouncer
```
Verify:
```bash
which bouncer
```
