Optional Requirements:
If you don’t meet the requirements for a cog, be sure to comment out that cog in the roxbot/__init__.py
file.
Clone Roxbot to your system
$ git clone https://github.com/roxxers/roxbot.git
$ cd roxbot/
Create a venv for Roxbot
$ python3 -m venv ./env
$ source env/bin/activate # For bash and zsh users
$ source env/bin/activate.fish # For fish users
Install Python dependencies
$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Edit Roxbot’s config to add your bot accounts token (and Imgur api token if you plan to use the Reddit cog) to the config, and also edit some other config settings. Then rename it so that Roxbot will be able to read it.
$ nano roxbot/settings/roxbot_example.conf
$ mv roxbot/settings/roxbot_example.conf roxbot/settings/roxbot.conf
Run Roxbot and she should setup everything if you haven’t run her before.
$ ./roxbot.py
