Limnoria/README.md

Limnoria is a multipurpose Python IRC bot, designed for flexibility and robustness,
while being easy to install, set up, and maintain.

It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC bots.
It includes a very flexible and powerful
[ACL system](https://docs.limnoria.net/use/capabilities.html)
for controlling access to commands,
an equality powerful
[configuration system](https://docs.limnoria.net/use/configuration.html)
to customize your bot,
as well as more than 60 builtin [plugins](https://limnoria.net/plugins.xhtml)
providing around 400 actual commands.

There are also dozens of third-party [plugins](https://limnoria.net/plugins.xhtml)
written by dozens of independent developers,
and it is very easy to
[write your own](https://docs.limnoria.net/develop/plugin_tutorial.html)
with only basic knowledge of Python.

It is the successor of
[Supybot](https://sourceforge.net/projects/supybot/)
since 2010 and provides many new features, but keeps full compatibility
with existing configurations and plugins.

## Documentation

If this is your first install, there is an [install guide](https://docs.limnoria.net/en/latest/use/install.html).
You will probably be pointed to it if you ask on IRC how to install
Limnoria.
TL;DR version:

```
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-wheel
pip3 install --user limnoria
# You might need to add $HOME/.local/bin to your PATH
supybot-wizard
```

There is extensive documentation at [docs.limnoria.net] and at
[Gribble wiki]. We took the time to write it; you should take the time to
read it.
