Running the Bot¶
Once you have completed configuring the bot, you will need to run the bot
Open your respective commandline interface (ex: cmd, terminal, bash)
Navigate to the directory/folder the Bot resides in.
Check for your platform below
Linux¶
If your Linux Distribution is not listed below try the following commands
python3 --version
Or try
python<version here> --version
Which ever one outputs a version that is at least 3.6 is what you will use instead replacing the version flag with Bot.py
This will start the bot.
Ubuntu/Linux Mint¶
We only support Ubuntu versions 18.04 and above
For Linux Mint we only support 19+
The following command should run the bot.
python3 Bot.py
Debian 9¶
Warning
Debian 9 uses Python 3.5.3, the minimum supported version for the bot. It is not advised to use Python 3.5.3, as it may be deprecated within a future version.
If you want to use Python 3.5.3 then all you need to do is
python3 Bot.py
However, if you used the guide for Python3.7 then use
python3.7 Bot.py
Windows¶
Windows does it simple, all you need to do is use the following command in cmd
python Bot.py
MacOS (OSX)¶
Warning
DO NOT Use the python command instead use python3! The python command is linked to Python2 which is installed on MacOS by default.
For MacOS all you need to do is
python3 Bot.py
