Quickstart instructions: Windows (copy paste friendly)

Minor console knowledge required (traversing directories with cd).

Download the program

Download kameloso.exe from Releases, then open up a cmd.exe or Powershell console window (or equivalent terminal emulator) and navigate to where you saved it. If it warns that it blocked the download of a dangerous file, just override it and download anyway. It's safe. It just doesn't seem to like D programs for some reason.

OpenSSL

kameloso.exe --get-openssl

This will download and launch the installer for OpenSSL for Windows, required for SSL servers and for some plugins to access web resources. Make sure to install to Windows system directories when asked.

Notepad and implicitly creating configuration file

kameloso.exe --gedit

This will create a new configuration file and open it with a graphical text editor (default Notepad). Enter your server information, username, passwords and passes, home and guest channels, administrator accounts, etc. Take a minute to scroll down and see what settings there are to change.

Twitch

If you want to connect to Twitch, log into www.twitch.tv in a browser with the account you want to connect as, then run the following instead of the --gedit step above.

kameloso.exe --setup-twitch

Follow the on-screen instructions. If you have a bot account you want to use and you'd rather not log out your main account, simply use a private/incognito window.

Done

kameloso.exe

This will make the bot read the configuration file and connect to your server.
