Thank you for taking interest in this little project. Below is some information to help you with contributing.
See the Install the dependencies section of SETUP.md for help setting up a running environment for the bot.
If you would rather not or are unable to run docker, the following instructions will explain how to install the project dependencies natively.
You can install libolm from source,
or alternatively, check your system's package manager. Version 3.0.0 or
greater is required.
(Optional) postgres development headers
By default, the bot uses SQLite as its storage backend. This is fine for a few hundred users, but if you plan to support a much higher volume of requests, you may consider using Postgres as a database backend instead.
If you want to use postgres as a database backend, you'll need to install postgres development headers:
Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install libpq-dev libpq5
Arch:
sudo pacman -S postgresql-libs
Create and activate a Python 3 virtual environment:
virtualenv -p python3 env
source env/bin/activate
Install python dependencies:
pip install -e .
(Optional) If you want to use postgres as a database backend, use the following command to install postgres dependencies alongside those that are necessary:
pip install ".[postgres]"
There are some python dependencies that are required for linting/testing etc. You can install them with:
pip install -e ".[dev]"
Please follow the PEP8 style guidelines and format your import statements with isort.
Run the following script to automatically format your code. This should make the linting CI happy:
./scripts-dev/lint.sh
