Bielli Bot

Maledetto Bielli

Run the bot

is as simple as: ./biellibot.py

but that's good for testing, if you want a more consistent way to handle this use the provided bash scripts:

start.sh that will:

• start the bot
• redirect logs to ./logs/{timestamp}.log
• write a PID file to ./run/biellibot.pid

stop.sh that will just kill the process in PID file.

Python setup (macOS)

1. install/update homebrew

2. install python3: $ brew install python3

   NOTE: python points to system installation (typically 2.7.X), python3 points to homebrew installation

3. configure virtual environment

   $ mkdir python_envs
   $ cd python_envs/
   $ python3 -m venv cbtranslator
   
   # activate the env:
   $ source python_envs/biellibot/bin/activate
   # deactivate the env:
   $ deactivate
   

   NOTE: using the created env python --version points to python3 and also does pip

4. install dependencies:

   $ source python_envs/biellibot/bin/activate
   $ cd bielli_bot/
   $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. write your configuration in settings.json. For details see template configuration file: settings.template.json

Update requirements file:

In case other dependencies are added during development, to update the requirements file run:

$ pip freeze > requirements.txt
