There are several possibilities to install ZNC on your machine. The latest version is always available using the source tarball from http://znc.in/releases.
 
A [[ChangeLog]] is available in the wiki.
You can also read more about [[Portability|ZNC's portability]].
 
;Which way should I choose for installing ZNC?
:If you don't have root access, the only way is to use [[#Source Tarball|source tarball]]. You'll need to use <code>./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local</code> as described.
:If you have root access, you can use either [[#Source Tarball|source tarball]] or the convenient way for your distro. Check section about your distro for details, but be aware that these may contain old versions of ZNC!
 
Once you have installed ZNC, you can create a config file with <code>znc --makeconf</code>.
 
== Development Versions ==
Read the [[git]] page if you want to get the current development version. Beware that this might have more bugs, more features, be a little unstable and eat your first born. You have been warned!
 
== Source Tarball ==
Official source tarballs can be found [http://znc.in/releases/ here].
 
If you want to compile ZNC with OpenSSL support, you need the OpenSSL development package. On Debian/Ubuntu this is called '''libssl-dev''', on CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat it's '''openssl-devel'''.
 
# Download the latest [http://znc.in/releases/znc-{{ZNC-Version}}.tar.gz source tarball]
# <code>tar -xzvf znc*.*gz</code>
# <code>cd znc*</code>
# <code>./configure</code><br />(use '''<code>--prefix=$HOME/znc</code>''' if you don't want a system wide installation or simply don't have root access; use <code>--with-openssl=/path/to/openssl</code> if you have a non-standard SSL path)<br />(use <code>--help</code> to see other configure options)
# <code>make</code><br />(if you are on a dedicated server and your CPU has more than one core, you can use <code>make -jX</code> where X is the number of CPU cores to speed up compilation)
# <code>make install</code>
 
''Please note that compiling can take 5-10mins or more.''
 
Once you have installed znc, you can use <code>znc --makeconf</code> to make a configuration file for ZNC. This config is stored in ~/.znc under the user you run it as. You should create a dedicated non root user to run znc under.
 
ZNC is run by just executing znc under the dedicated znc user, at which stage it goes to background. It does not make an init.d service for itself nor does it need to be run in screen or something similar.
 
;See the [[FAQ|FAQ page]] if you encounter problems.
 
== Linux ==
 
=== Debian ===
Debian provides [http://packages.debian.org/znc ZNC packages] which may be installed using:
aptitude install znc
 
If you want to build znc from source to get a newer version than Debian provides, you may need the following packages:
build-essential
libssl-dev
libperl-dev
 
You can use the command
aptitude build-dep znc
to install build dependencies automatically. Note that sometimes these build-depedencies are outdated and won't work with the current version of ZNC.
 
=== Fedora ===
Fedora provides [http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/znc ZNC packages] which may be installed using
yum install znc
 
=== CentOS/Red Hat Enterprise Linux ===
ZNC packages are available in the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux repository (EPEL).
 
To install the EPEL repository, lookup the appropriate EPEL package at [http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/EPEL/ http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/EPEL/] then execute the following commands:
rpm -Uvh <link to your package name/architecture>/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
yum update
 
Once you have EPEL installed, execute:
yum install znc znc-extra
 
=== Ubuntu ===
[http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=znc&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all This page lists all of the ZNC packages in the Ubuntu repositories.]
 
You can either build ZNC from source, or use a PPA that was made by a community member to contain pre-built ZNC packages for all supported Ubuntu releases.  '''Note that the PPA does not contain packages for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid due to build dependency issues''', and if you want ZNC on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, you will have to compile it from source yourself.
 
==== Build From Source ====
If you want to build znc from source to get a newer version than Ubuntu provides, you need the following packages:
build-essential
libssl-dev
libperl-dev
pkg-config
 
You can also run the command
sudo apt-get build-dep znc
if you want to get the build dependencies installed automatically.
 
After you have done this, you can follow the instructions on this page for compiling from the source tarball.
 
==== Install via PPA ====
A Personal Package Archive (PPA) has been created by [https://launchpad.net/~teward Thomas W.], and contains the latest stable ZNC release as exists in Debian.  It contains packages for all releases of Ubuntu that are currently supported and not past their [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases end of life dates].  [https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/znc/+packages Click here if you wish to see the details of the packages in the PPA].  '''NOTE: This PPA does not contain packages for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid because there are missing build dependencies in Ubuntu 10.04 that may prevent the packages from building.'''
 
'''The version currently available in the PPA, as of this last revision, is 1.2-3.'''
 
First, make sure you have the python-software-properties package installed:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
 
Then, add the PPA to your sources, and update the apt information:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teward/znc
sudo apt-get update
 
Then, install the znc packages:
sudo apt-get install znc znc-dbg znc-dev znc-perl znc-python znc-tcl
 
ZNC is now installed.  You can create the configuration normally with this, when run on the user that you want to run ZNC as:
znc --makeconf
 
=== (Open)SuSE ===
ZNC is part of the [http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=znc official repositories]. To install, use the YaST GUI or install via commandline by typing
yast -i znc
 
=== Gentoo ===
Gentoo provides [http://packages.gentoo.org/package/net-irc/znc ZNC packages] which may be installed using:
emerge -av net-irc/znc
 
Several USE Flags can be used for znc:
 
* ares (global/local): enables using the c-ares library (for stable versions predating 1.0 only; deprecated in favor of dns-threads)
* debug (global): enable debug
* dns-threads (local): use threads for DNS resolving (for v1.0)
* extras (global/local): enable additional modules
* ipv6 (global): adds support for ipv6
* perl (global): adds support for writing perl modules
* python (global): adds support for writing python 3 modules
* ssl (global): enable secure socket layer connections
* sasl (global): sasl support
* tcl (global): adds support for writing tcl modules
 
<pre>equery uses znc -a</pre> Will print you a list of USE flags that will be used for znc
 
=== Slackware ===
[http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=znc&sv= Latest Slackware SBo Slackbuild]
 
=== Alpine Linux ===
 
To install znc from the package manager, enter the following command:
sudo apk add znc znc-modperl znc-modtcl
 
If you want to build znc from source to get a newer version than Alpine provides, you need to install packages with the following command:
sudo apk add autoconf automake gettext-dev g++ make openssl-dev pkgconfig zlib-dev
 
If you want to run [[git]], [[Debugging]], [[modperl|perl]], (requires swig), [[modtcl|tcl]], or [[cyrusauth|cyrus]] then install the packages that correspond:
sudo apk add git gdb perl-dev swig tcl-dev cyrus-sasl-dev
 
Note: Python3 does not exist in Alpine.
 
=== Archlinux ===
 
ZNC is part of the [http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=znc archlinux package repository], and can be installed with the following:
 
pacman -S znc
 
Additionally you can install the following optional dependencies to add support for additional modules.
 
* '''cyrus-sasl''' - saslauth module
* '''perl''' - modperl module
* '''python''' - modpython module
* '''tcl''' - modtcl module
 
==== rc.d scripts (deprecated)====
 
You may also be interested in rc.d scripts for znc which can be installed with:
 
pacman -U https://github.com/downloads/kylef/znc-arch/znc-system-wide-1.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
 
You can read more about these scripts [https://github.com/kylef/znc-arch here]. As of November 2012, initscripts support is being phased-out and expected to be totally deprecated in early 2013. Systemd scripts are already distributed in the package. The Archlinux wiki has some helpful information for new users who are getting started with [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Znc znc].
 
==== Unstable/Testing ====
You can install the latest git snapshot from the [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/znc-git/ Arch User Repository].
 
== FreeBSD ==
ZNC is in FreeBSD ports, just do:
cd /usr/ports/irc/znc
make config
make install clean
 
or
 
pkg_add -r znc
 
== Mac OS X ==
 
There are two ways to install ZNC on OS X, either using a package manager such as Homebrew or installing it yourself from source. See [http://henrik.nyh.se/2009/02/using-the-znc-irc-bouncer-with-os-x-and-iphone this blog post] for a tutorial on how to compile ZNC from source.
 
* NOTE: If you are running on PPC architecture and cannot make the ''./configure && make && sudo make install'' dance work, you'll want to do the following:
# Make sure that you're using the --disable-perl switch for ''configure''. Hence: ''./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-perl''
 
=== Homebrew ===
 
==== Installing Homebrew ====
 
For more information about Homebrew see [http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ here]. The following command will install Homebrew to /usr/local
 
  ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
 
Homebrew requires Xcode and Mac OS X >= 10.5
 
==== Installing znc with Homebrew ====
 
  brew install znc
 
=== Installing znc with MacPorts ===
 
  port install znc
 
== Cygwin ==
Download [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin], and install.
In the setup, do a search for the following packages and install them:
 
Getting the ZNC source code:
 
  git
  wget
 
Compiling:
  automake
  gcc-g++
  make
  mpfr
  pkg-config
  openssl-devel
  zlib-devel
 
Debugging:
  gdb
 
After installing these packages proceed to [[#Source Tarball|source tarball]] section (or [[git]])
 
== Unofficial, user contributed binaries ==
The following installation sources are created and maintained by users!
 
=== RPM ===
Veit Wahlich created RPM packages and yum repositories for RedHat-based Linux distributions (RHEL/CentOS and Fedora). Version 0.052 is available at http://home.ircnet.de/cru/znc
 
=== Microsoft Windows ===
[http://code.google.com/p/znc-msvc/ ZNC as a native Windows program, compiled with Microsoft Visual C++]
