Getting Started

Windows/Mac/Linux (x64)

1. Git clone this repository
2. Install it using either:
   • Copy, paste and execute this command inside the project folder: pip install -r requirements.txt
   • Alternatively you can create a virtual environment using python -m venv venv and then source venv/bin/activate to finally pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Setup a Bot Account
   • You'll need the Bot Token for setting up the Bot
4. Execute using this command inside the project folder : python3 Bot.py

Note: When running Bot.py for the first time, you'll be prompted to enter your Aternos account and bot token. You'll need to run python3 Bot.py again after you finish setting your information.

• Should you ever need to change the information you can edit the .env directly or delete it and run Bot.py again.

Cloud Hosting Note

Cloud hosting this bot would require some workarounds as Aternos recognizes you are connecting from a data center and prompts for a captcha test.
