twicciand is the background process for Twiccian. It's job is to authenticate
with Twitch and handle all communication with the Twitch API and chat.
To build the application, first make sure GOPATH is
set. Next, issue the command:
go get "github.com/walle/cfg"
go get "github.com/gorilla/handlers"
go get "github.com/gorilla/websocket"
go get "github.com/sorcix/irc"
to install config file library. sorcix/irc will need to be switched to the ircv3.2-tags branch. Finally, run go build in
the project directory to build the project.
Currently, twicciand can only authenticate with Twitch on behalf of the user.
To do so, visit this
URL
while the server is running to generate a authentication token. The server
will then echo this auth token. To avoid going through this process every time
the server starts up, the token is saved in the twicciand configuration file.
At startup, the server reads a startup configuration from a file called
twicciand.conf in the same directory as the server. Below is an example
configuration:
username=USERNAME
token=
Make sure you replace USERNAME with your twitch username. Build and run the project and follow the directions to generate a twitch auth token.
