First you need to login to your telegram account. To do it use tgirc command. Just follow the instructions there. You will be asked for you telegram phone number and OTP code. Please note that 2FA and QR-Code auth currently not supported. Next you will be asked to configure the parameters of irc server to connect for using telegram from your irc client
