There ain't no getting around it. You can get Python from -http://www.python.org/ and setuptools from -https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools. - - Recommended Software - - PySQLite -- Version 1.x - - Twisted -- Version 1.2.0 or greater - - For more information and help on how to use Supybot, checkout -the documents under docs/ (especially GETTING_STARTED and -CONFIGURATION). - - So what do you do? That depends on which operating system you're -running. We've split this document up to address the different -methods, so find the section for your operating system and continue -from there. - -UNIX/Linux/BSD - - If you're installing Python using your distributor's packages, you may -need a python-dev package installed, too. If you don't have a -'/usr/lib/python2.x/distutils' directory or -'/usr/lib/python2.x/config/Makefile' (assuming '/usr/lib/python2.x' is -where your Python libs are installed), then you will need a python-dev -package. - - After you extract Supybot and cd into the supybot directory just -created, you'll want to run (as root) 'python setup.py install'. This -will install Supybot globally. If you need to install locally for -whatever reason, see the notes at the end of this section. 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). 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 a -registry file for your bot. - - Local Install - - You can install Supybot in a local directory by using the '--user' - option when running 'setup.py'. E.g., 'python setup.py install - --user' to install into your home directory. You'll now have - a $HOME/.local/bin directory containing Supybot programs ('supybot', - 'supybot-wizard', etc.) and a $HOME/.local/lib directory containing the - Supybot libraries. - -Windows - - **Note**: If you are using an IPV6 connection, you will not be able -to run Supybot under Windows (unless Python has fixed things). Current -versions of Python for Windows are *not* built with IPV6 support. This -isn't expected to be fixed until Python 2.4, at the earliest. - - Now that you have Python installed, open up a command prompt. The -easiest way to do this is to open the run dialog (Programs -> run) and -type "cmd" (for Windows 2000/XP/2003) or "command" (for Windows 9x). In -order to reduce the amount of typing you need to do, I suggest adding -Python's directory to your path. If you installed Python using the -default settings, you would then do the following in the command prompt -(otherwise change the path to match your settings):: - - set PATH=C:\Python2x\;%PATH% - - You should now be able to type 'python' to start the Python -interpreter. Exit by pressing CTRL-Z and then Return. Now that that's -setup, you'll want to cd into the directory that was created when you -unzipped Supybot; I'll assume you unzipped it to 'C:\Supybot' for these -instructions. From 'C:\Supybot', run 'python setup.py install'. This -will install Supybot under 'C:\Python2x\'. You will now have several new -programs installed in 'C:\Python2x\Scripts\'.
