@ -2,42 +2,6 @@ Ok, so you've decided to try out Supybot. That's great! The more
people who use Supybot, the more people can submit bugs and help us to
make it the best IRC bot in the world :)
First things first: Supybot *requires* Python 2.3. There ain't no
getting around it. If you're a Python developer, you probably know
how superior 2.3 is to previous incarnations. If you're not, just
think about the difference between a bowl of plain vanilla ice cream
and a banana split. Or something like that. Either way, *We're*
Python developers and we like banana splits.
So what do you do? First thing you'll want to do is run (with
root/admin privileges) "python setup.py install". This will install
Supybot globally. If you need to install locally for whatever reason,
see the addendum near the end of this document. You'll then have
several new programs installed where Python scripts are normally
installed on your system (/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin are common on
UNIX systems; C:\Python23\Scripts is a common place on Windows; and
(watch out, this is a long one :))
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin is a
common place on MacOS X.). The two that might be of particular
interest to you, the new user, are "supybot" and "supybot-wizard".
The former ("supybot") is the script to run an actual bot; the latter
("supybot-wizard") is an in-depth wizard that provides a nice user
interface for creating configuration files for your bot. We'd prefer
you to the use supybot-wizard, but if you're in a hurry or don't feel
like being asked many questions, just run supybot with no arguments
and it'll ask you only the questions necessary to run a bot.
So after running either of those two programs, you've got a nice
registry file handy. If you're not satisfied with your answers to any
of the questions you were asked, feel free to run the program again
until you're satisfied with all your answers. Once you're satisfied,
though, run the "supybot" program with the registry file you created
as an argument. This will start the bot; unless you turned off
logging to stdout, you'll see some nice log messages describing what
the bot is doing at any particular moment; it may pause for a
significant amount of time after saying "Connecting to ..." while the
server tries to check its ident.
Ok, so let's assume your bot connected to the server fine and joined
the channels you told it to join. For now we'll assume you named your
bot "supybot" (you probably didn't, but it'll make it much clearer in
