# CloudBot/DEV
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
`CloudBot` is a `Python` very heavily based on [`Skybot`](http://git.io/skybot) by [rmmh](http://git.io/rmmh).
|
|
|
|
### Goals
|
|
|
|
* Easily extendable
|
|
* Though documentation
|
|
* Cross-platform
|
|
* Muti-threaded, efficient
|
|
* Automatic reloading
|
|
* Little boilerplate
|
|
* Intuitive configuration
|
|
* Fully controlled from IRC
|
|
|
|
## Download
|
|
|
|
Get `CloudBot` at [git.io/getcloudbot](http://git.io/getcloudbot "Get CloudBot from Github!").
|
|
|
|
Unzip the resulting file, and continue to read this document.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
Before you can run the bot, you need to install a few `Python` modules. These are `lXML`, `BeautifulSoup`, `MyGengo`, and `HTTPlib2`. These can be installed with PIP (The `Python` packager):
|
|
|
|
`sudo pip install lxml`
|
|
|
|
`sudo pip install beautifulsoup`
|
|
|
|
`sudo pip install mygengo`
|
|
|
|
`sudo pip install httplib2`
|
|
|
|
On `Debian` based systems, you can get pip with
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt-get install pip`
|
|
|
|
For .spell to work, we also need a library called `Enchant`. On `Debian` based systems, install with
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt-get install python-enchant`
|
|
|
|
In addition, for .whois to work optimally, you must have `whois` installed. Again, on `Debian` based systems, install it with
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt-get install whois`
|
|
|
|
If you are a user of another Linux disto, use your package manager to install the dependencies, or, for other operating systems, use **Google** to locate source packages you can install.
|
|
|
|
Once you have installed the required dependencies, run the bot with
|
|
|
|
`python bot.py`
|
|
|
|
It will generate a default config for you. Once you have edited the config, run it again with
|
|
|
|
`python bot.py`
|
|
|
|
and it will connect to any server(s) you have added to the config. (Config docs at the [wiki](http://git.io/cloudbotconfig))
|
|
|
|

## Support
|
|
|
|
The developers reside in[#CloudBot](irc://irc.esper.net/cloudbot "Connect via IRC to #CloudBot on irc.esper.net) on [EsperNet](http://esper.net) and would be glad to help you.
|
|
|
|
If you think you have found a bug/have a idea/suggestion, please open a issue here on Github.
|
|
|
|
## Example `CloudBot`s
|
|
|
|
The developers of `CloudBot` run two `CloudBot`s on [Espernet](http://esper.net).
|
|
|
|
They can both be found in [#CloudBot](irc://irc.esper.net/cloudbot "Connect via IRC to #CloudBot on irc.esper.net).
|
|
|
|
**mau5bot** is the stable bot, and runs on the latest release version of `CloudBot`. (mau5bot is running on `Ubuntu Server` *Oneric Ocelot/11.10* with `Python` 2.7.2)
|
|
|
|
**neerbot** is the unstable bot, and runs on the latest development version of `CloudBot`. (neerbot is running on `Debian` *Wheezy/Testing* with `Python` 2.7.2)
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
`CloudBot` runs on `Python` 2.7.x. It is developed on `Debian` *Wheezy/Testing* with `Python` 2.7.2.
|
|
|
|
It requires `Python` modules `lXML`, `BeautifulSoup`, `Enchant`, `MyGengo`, and `HTTPlib2`.
|
|
|
|
`Windows` users: `Windows` compatibility is broken, but we do intend to add it back. (Eventually)
