How to use/install

If you cannot host this or don't want to use your own system, please view the Cloud9 Install Tutorial (For Beginner Users) or the OpenShift Install Tutorial (For Experts) otherwise, continue on...

1. Make sure you clone this repo with git and not just upload or download a zip of it. Make sure that git pull is executable, otherwise the update check will not work.
2. Open settings.js and configure the file. There are comments in the file that should tell you what to do.
3. Install Node.js. Go in a command prompt and navigate to the bot's folder.
4. Run npm install to automatically install all of our dependencies. Make sure Node.js is updated to the latest version.

To start your bot, type node main.js or alternatively, open run.bat on Windows. Otherwise, to run it as daemon, run node app.js start.

Your bot should be on the desired channel.
