Create an account for the bot. For convenience you can use youremail+hnbot@gmail.com, to avoid registering a separate email.
Then run the command:
python3 ./hnbot.py "youremail@example.com" "yourpassword" "https://instancename.com"
Run it regularly
You can use cron to run the bot regularly.
Run the command:
crontab -e
And at the end of the file add the line:

(this will execute every 30 minutes)
