Requirements

Linux packages needed for install: python, python-dev, libenchant-dev, libenchant1c2a, libxslt-dev, libxml2-dev.

UguuBot runs on Python 2.7.x. It is developed on Ubuntu 12.04 with Python 2.7.3.

It requires the Python module lXML, and Enchant is needed for the spellcheck plugin.

The programs daemon or screen are recomended for the launcher to run optimally.

Windows users: Windows compatibility with the launcher and some plugins is broken (such as ping), but we do intend to add it.³

Install required Linux packages

Install python, python-dev, libenchant-dev, libenchant1c2a, libxslt-dev, libxml2-dev

Before you can run the bot, you need to install a few Python dependencies. These can be installed with pip (The Python package manager):

[sudo] pip install -r requirements.txt

How to install pip

curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py # or download with your browser on windows
python distribute_setup.py
easy_install pip

Run

Once you have installed the required dependencies, there are two ways you can run the bot:

Launcher

Note: Due to some issues with the launcher we recommend you run the bot manually as detailed below.

Note: If migrating from an older version please look in the modules/Admin.py at the migrate_old_db command. MAKE SURE TO USE A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL DB.

The launcher will start the bot as a background process, and allow the bot to close and restart itself. This is only supported on unix-like machines (not Windows).

For the launcher to work properly, install screen, or daemon (daemon is recommended):

apt-get install screen

apt-get install daemon

Once you have installed either screen or daemon, run the start command:

./uguubot start

It will generate a default config for you. Once you have edited the config, run it again with the same command:

./uguubot start

This will start up your bot as a background process. To stop it, use ./uguubot stop.)

Manually

To manually run the bot and get console output, run it with:

python bot.py

On Windows you can usually just double-click the bot.py file to start the bot, as long as you have Python installed correctly.

(note: running the bot without the launcher breaks the start and restart commands)
