hi today i will tell you how to install znc server

First you have to update your sources by typing this

Note:you will conect to your znc through that port like domain.com:5000

Code:
What port would you like ZNC to listen on? (1025 to 65535): 5000

now its will ask regarding ssl which allows you to connect through http i recommend answer No because its can cause problems

Nice Tutorial. Though I will never recommened to install ZNC on any free VPS. Cuz they are temporary and can be lost anytime.
