The Lounge
The Lounge is a modern web IRC client designed for self-hosting.
To learn more about configuration, usage and features of The Lounge, take a look at the website.
The Lounge is the official and community-managed fork of Shout, by Mattias Erming.
Installation and usage
The Lounge requires Node.js v4 or more recent.
Running stable releases from npm (recommended)
Run this in a terminal to install (or upgrade) the latest stable release from npm:
[sudo] npm install -g thelounge
When installation is complete, run:
lounge start
For more information, read the documentation, wiki, or run:
lounge --help
Running from source
The following commands install and run the development version of The Lounge:
git clone https://github.com/thelounge/lounge.git
cd lounge
npm install
NODE_ENV=production npm run build
npm start
When installed like this, npm doesn't create a lounge executable. Use npm start -- <command> to run subcommands.
⚠️ While it is the most recent codebase, this is not production-ready! Run at your own risk. It is also not recommended to run this as root.
Development setup
Simply follow the instructions to run The Lounge from source above, on your own fork.
