# Setting up the tilde.club IRC server
We chose to go with charybdis, mostly because it's in the Debian/Ubuntu package repository (universe), so we can update it without having to go through the configure/make/make install process.
## System setup
The server is an Amazon EC2 instance, running Ubuntu. Initial system setup included:
* modifying the hostname (`sudo hostname irc`) (and perhaps also needing to edit the `/etc/hostname` file, unclear)
* updating the `/etc/hosts` file (add `172.30.0.216 irc.tilde.club irc`)
## Installing charybdis
First, we needed to add the "universe" repository to the `apt` repository list:
```
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
```
Once that was added, charybdis could be installed:
```
sudo apt-get install charybdis
```
