[https://www.unrealircd.org/ UnrealIRCd] is the most popular [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat IRC] server software on the planet with [https://www.ircstats.org/servers 43% market share] (at the time of this writing).
This article will show you how to setup a basic IRC server on [https://www.debian.org/ Debian] 9. I say basic because I'm omitting (or removing) a number of the advanced features such as networking multiple servers and banning IP addresses.
=Setup the Environment=
#login as a user capable of running ''sudo''
#run ''sudo apt update'' and ''sudo apt upgrade'' to bring your system up-to-date
#run ''sudo adduser ircd'' to create the UnrealIRCd's user
#run ''sudo adduser ircd sudo'' to add the ''ircd'' user to the ''sudo'' group (we'll remove this privilege at the end)
