apt-get install irssi

Enter irssi, connect to freenode and setup authorization:

irssi

/connect irc.freenode.net 6667
/set nick <nick> 
/set real_name <Real Name>
/msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <youremail@example.com>

Check email and follow instructions. Now back in terminal (#rubyonrails probably won't like alternate nicks as they are usually for being anonymous):

### enter commands from email
/msg NickServ SET HIDEMAIL ON # optional
/nick <alternate_nick>  # optional  
/msg nickserv group # optional
/msg nickserv info # check your setup
/disconnect freenode
/exit

Make sure you actually quit irssi. You could set up irssi to auto-authorize you with a lot of shell scripts and config files or have kiwiirc handle it all. ==> head over to kiwiirc:

  1. https://kiwiirc.com/register and register
  2. Then at https://kiwiirc.com/client:
  3. Change Nickname to what you chose
  4. Select "i have a password" and enter it.
  5. #rubyonrails
  6. Under server and network: irc.freenode.net port 6667
