Go 1.6+ is required. Make sure you have [Go ](https://golang.org/doc/install ) properly installed, including setting up your [GOPATH] (https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH)
2015-10-23 20:34:37 +00:00

go get github.com/42wim/matterbridge

```
You should now have matterbridge binary in the bin directory:
```
$ ls bin/
matterbridge
```

1) Copy the matterbridge.conf.sample to matterbridge.conf in the same directory as the matterbridge binary.
2) Edit matterbridge.conf with the settings for your environment. See below for more config information.
2015-12-19 15:55:49 +00:00

## FAQ
Please look at [matterbridge.conf.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.conf.sample) for more information first.
### Mattermost doesn't show the IRC nicks
If you're running the webhooks version, this can be fixed by either:
* enabling "override usernames". See [mattermost documentation ](http://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html#enabling-incoming-webhooks )
* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.conf.
If you're running the plus version you'll need to:
* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.conf.
Also look at the ```RemoteNickFormat``` setting.
