wget https://znc.in/releases/archive/znc-1.7.4.tar.gz
tar -xzvf znc*.*gz
cd znc*
./configure && make && make install
znc --makeconf

Then follow wich port you wish to use for IRC bouncer. You can also take a look at installation section within znc guide as well.

Now you can connect to znc from your IRC Client.

/pass user:password
