Command-line IRC program?

Question

I currently use xchat as my default IRC program, but I don't really like GUIs, I prefer TUIs, is there an IRC program out there which has a TUI rather than a GUI? I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

Answer 1

Why not Weechat or Irssi.

Install Weechat:

sudo apt-get install weechat

Install Irssi:

sudo apt-get install irssi

They are especially nice if you use a tiling wm like i3, I have heard.
