i would like to know how to install an eggdrop on a shell...

Setting up an Eggdrop

1) Download latest eggdrop from ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/GNU/ ... rc1.tar.gz
2) Telnet and FTP to the shell.
3) Upload eggdrop1.6.18rc1.tar.gz via FTP.
4) In telnet type tar zxvf eggdrop1.6.18rc1.tar.gz
5) Type cd eggdrop1.6.18rc1
6) Type ./configure
7) Type make config (compiles all modules) or make iconfig (allows you to select the modules to compile).
Type make
9) Type make install DEST=/home/name/botdir
10) Switch to the botdir and edit the sample config file eggdrop.conf, then rename it to something appropriate (e.g. botnick.conf).
11) Type ./eggdrop -m <config file>

PS:You need to install TCL scripts for enhancing your eggdrop.
More help www.egghelp.org

and what about reading the MOTD (in case you are talking about infinity)?
especially watch out for "To install eggdrop type:"

PS: stripped unneccessary capitals from topic and moved from programming.

do we have an auto install utility for eggdrops on the server? you can automatically eggdrop on the shell account by typing the right command.

In infinity, I think you should type the command 'getegg'. Like what De Kus said, look out for the phrase "To install eggdrop type:..." when you login to your account. And then, just edit the eggdrop.conf file. Or if you want to compile your own eggy, www.egghelp.org is the best place, I think.
