Requirements

• Node (v14+ should work)
• Python 3.6+

Setup

1. Install Node dependencies: npm install
2. Optional: Create a virtual env: python3 -m venv cr_env and activate it source cr_env/bin/activate
3. Install Python dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Create a zulip bot, download the zuliprc file, and but it in the base directory.
5. Copy config.base.json to config.json and adjust config values as needed.
   • Set zulip.stream to the stream where the bot should respond to queries.
   • If you didn't create a venv or named it differently, set python_bin to the Python binary to run CR with (python3 to use the system Python, path/to/venv/bin/Python for a venv)
   • Set engine.path to the path where the Stockfish binary is located

Run

• npm run dev for dev. Will watch for changes and restart.
• npm run build to build prod dist
• npm start to run (after build)
• Or use CR-bot.service with systemd
