c) wait for the download to finish
d) open the downloaded installer

g) in the first configuration wizard, go to this page (by clicking "Next"):
then replace 'newbie' with a nickname you want to use on IRC.
h) click next

3. Messages & Channelsa) To join a channel, type
/join #channel in the console, for example
/join #paintball. Every irc command begins with
