## About ##
This is a fork of FICS(Free Internet Chess Server) version 1.6.2 made
by Richard Nash.
The fork is maintained by the
[RPBLC computing network](https://www.rpblc.net)
and in particular
[Markus Uhlin](mailto:maxxe@rpblc.net).
## Installation ##
Begin the installation with creating a new user, dedicated for running
the FICS.

When the user has been created login to its account and clone the
[Git](https://git-scm.com)
repository:
$ su -l chess
$ mkdir git

$ git clone https://github.com/uhlin/fics.git
$ cd fics
Edit `FICS/config.h` with a text editor and save the file.
$ emacs FICS/config.h
From the top-level directory of the cloned Git repository begin the
building by running make.
$ make
If the build was successful it's time to install the chess server by
running `make install`.
$ make install
Done!
### Make variables ###
If you want you can customize the `FICS_HOME` and `PREFIX` make
variables found in `options.mk`. But it isn't needed if you've
followed the installation steps above.
Happy gaming!
