How do I start using IRC to join the #ANSIBLE channel

Nothing I have tried for the last several hours has worked. I am new to ansible and really need a good foundation and support community, like I had with Puppet.

Can someone give me the first few steps spelled out explicitly? I am running Windows 10 on my laptop.

Thank you.

you must enter nick (your user name, anything not used is fine),
channel; #ansbile

There are many windows IRC clients or other IRC webclients you can
use, but that should be simplest

of course, spell ansible correctly in ansible ...my bad.
