Requirements

  1. A Twitch.TV account
  2. An Alertzy account
  3. A computer that is always on, or on when you want to check for notifications, that has at least Java 8+ installed

Setting up BTTN

To start you will need to run BTTN in setup mode. You can find a wiki page on how to do that. While in setup mode you must add at least one Twitch.TV channel, one Twitch.TV API Key pair, and at least one Alertxzy API Key.

Getting Notifications

Once the program has been fully set up, you can run it to have it check for notifications. If you are on Linux, I recommend setting up a corn job to check for every minute, here is the basic syntax for the corn job * * * * * java -jar <full path to jar file> -config <full path to JSON config file>. This cron job runs BTTN every minute using the jar file from GitHub with my JSON config file. If you are on Windows, you can do something similar using the Task Scheduler program. If you are macOS, you can also use a corn job to scheduled BTTN. There is a more in-depth wiki on how to run BTTN automatically.
