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.
|
|
### TODO: Local installs.
|
|
### TODO: Explain how to run tests?
|
|
|
|
After that, you'll want to run supybot-wizard and generate yourself a
|
|
configuration file. To run this configuration file, you'll want to type
|
|
"supybot <config file>", replacing <config file> with the name of the
|
|
configuration file you just generated with the supybot-wizard. The supybot
|
|
program accepts several command-line parameters which you can see by simply
|
|
running "supybot --help"
|
|
|
|
After that, you should have a bot up and running in the
