Install Python
--------------
Download the latest Python 2 installer from http://python.org, (Python 2.7, as
of Mars 6, 2011) and run it to install Python.
Download the latest **Python 3** installer from https://www.python.org,
3.4.2, as of 2014-11-30) and run it to install Python.
The rest of this document will assume that you have Python 2.7, and thus that
your install directory is ''C:\Python27''.
Installing Python is mostly clicking next, but in the next screen remember
the destination directory where you installed Python. These instructions
refer to it as ``C:\Python34\`` which is the current name on 2014-11-30.
Then you are asked to customize your installation. Click the drive on left
side of "Python" text and select "Entire feature will be installed on
local hard drive".
Now Python installs itself which may take several minutes.
Python should be now installed and you can check that the "python" command
points to correct python. Open ``cmd.exe`` (press the Windows button on
your keyboard and type "cmd.exe") and run ``where python``
and the toppernmost entry should be ``C:\Python34\python.exe``.
Install git
-----------
In order to install the latest Limnoria from the git repository, you need
git in your %PATH%. You can get it from http://git-scm.com/.
In the "Adjusting your PATH environment", select the last option, "Use Git
and optional Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt" or you will have
issues in the next step.
Install Supybot
---------------
We are now ready to install Supybot itself. First, you need to grab the latest
code snapshot of Supybot. Easiest way to do that is to click the "Downloads"
button at the `Limnoria repository`_.
Now we are ready to install Limnoria and it's requirements. Open
``cmd.exe`` as **Administrator** (right click it in the previous place)
and run::
If you downloaded the code archive, extract it to some temporary directory,
and ``cd`` into the ``supybot`` directory which contains the extracted code.
python -m pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ProgVal/Limnoria/master/requirements.txt --upgrade
python -m pip git+https://github.com/ProgVal/Limnoria.git@master --upgrade
Once you have the code archive, extract it to some temporary directory, then
open up a command prompt (Programs -> Run -> ``cmd``) and ``cd`` into the
``supybot`` directory which contains the extracted code. For example, if you
have extracted the archive to ``C:\sometempdir\``, you would enter in the
prompt::
We are now ready to configure Supybot. Supybot creates quite a few
auxiliary files/directories to store its runtime data. It is thus
recommended to create an empty directory from which you'll be running
supybot, to keep all the data in a nice dedicated location.
For example, you may create a ``C:\Users\<username>\runbot`` for this
purpose.
cd "C:\sometempdir\supybot"
Now you open cmd.exe as **normal user**, and create and cd into your runbot
directory::
Once there, run the installer to install, with the following command::
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install
This will place some supybot scripts under ``C:\Python27\Scripts\``, and the
supybot python module under ``C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages``.

Now you open a command prompt, and ``cd`` to your ``C:\runbot`` directory::
cd "C:\runbot"
mkdir runbot

and from within it run ``supybot-wizard``::
C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Scripts\supybot-wizard
python C:\Python34\Scripts\supybot-wizard

file.
which will walk you through a series of questions to generate the bot
config file.
One thing to make sure to do in the wizard, to make your life easier down the
line, is to select *y* for the *Would you like to add an owner user for
your bot?* question, and actually create the owner user. Remember that

password, so that you can later ''identify'' with the bot on IRC and
administer it.
Once you generate the config file, which will be named ``yourbotnick.conf``
(where ``yourbotnick`` is the nick you have chosen for your bot in the wizard),
it will be placed in your ``runbot`` directory. (As long as you leave the
default answer to the *Where would you like to create these directories?*
question.)

Now to start the bot, run, still from within the ``C:\runbot`` directory::
