# Chapter 1. What is pisg?

pisg is an IRC statistics generator. It takes IRC logfiles and turns them into nice looking stats.

In general, you would do something like this to get it running:

- Enable logging in an IRC bot, or in your IRC client. The log will be outputted into a file.

- You set up pisg, you define the channel name, and the path to the logfile you created.

- You run pisg, pisg runs the log through and create statistics, it then creates an HTML page which you can upload to a server.

# 1.1. What are the requirements to run pisg?

- An IRC client or bot where pisg supports the output logfile.

- Any operating system which Perl runs on, this includes popular OS'es such as Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and Mac. You will have a hard time finding an OS where Perl isn't supported. For Windows this means that you need to download Active State Perl (ASPN Perl).

- Optional - a system to host the statistics page 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

- Optional - a system to log the channel, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
