CloudBot

CloudBot is a simple, fast, expandable open-source Python IRC Bot!

Getting CloudBot

There are currently two different branches of this repository, each with a different level of stability:

master (stable): This branch contains stable, tested code. This is the branch you should be using if you just want to run your own CloudBot!
python3.4 (unstable): This branch is where where test and develop new features. If you would like to help develop CloudBot, you can use this branch.

New releases will be pushed from python3.4 to master whenever we have a stable version to release. This should happen on a fairly regular basis, so you'll never be too far behind the latest improvements.

Installing CloudBot

Firstly, CloudBot will only run on Python 3.4 or higher. Because we use the asyncio module, you will not be able to use any other versions of Python.

To install CloudBot on *nix (linux, etc), see here

To install CloudBot on Windows, see here

Running CloudBot

Before you run the bot, rename config.default.json to config.json and edit it with your preferred settings. You can check if your JSON is valid using jsonlint.com!

Once you have installed the required dependencies and renamed the config file, you can run the bot! Make sure you are in the correct folder and run the following command:

python3.4 -m cloudbot

Note that you can also run the cloudbot/__main__.py file directly, which will work from any directory.

python3.4 CloudBot/cloudbot/__main__.py

Specify the path as /path/to/repository/cloudbot/main.py, where cloudbot is inside the repository directory.
