##CloudBot
CloudBot is very heavily based on Skybot by rmmh.
CloudBot is meant to be a simple, extendable python IRC bot, with minimal magic. To write your own plugins, vist the Plugin Wiki Page.
Get Cloudbot at git.io/getcloudbot. Unzip, and follow the install directions.
Before you can run the bot, you need to install a few Python modules. These are lXML, BeautifulSoup, Enchant and HTTPlib2. You will allso need pip` for MyGengo. On Debian based systems, these can be installed using the following commands:
sudo apt-get install python-lxml
sudo apt-get install python-beautifulsoup
sudo apt-get install python-enchant
sudo apt-get install python-httplib2
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Install mygengo with
sudo pip install mygengo
In addition, for .whois to work optimally, you must have whois installed. Again, on Debian based systems, install it with
sudo apt-get install whois
If you are a user of another Linux disto, use your package manager to install the modules, or use Google to locate source packages you can install. Once you have installed the required dependencies, run the bot with
python bot.py
It will generate a default config for you. Once you have editied the config, run it again with
python bot.py
and it will connect to any server(s) you have added to the config. (Config docs at the wiki)
CloudBot runs on Python 2.7.x. It is developed on Debian Wheezy/Testing with Python 2.7.2.
Windows users: Windows compatibilty is broken, but we do intend to add it back. (Eventually)
The developers of CloudBot run two Cloudbots on Espernet.
They can both be found in [#CloudBot](irc://irc.esper.net/cloudbot "Connect via IRC to #CloudBot on irc.esper.net).
mau5bot is the stable bot, and runs on the lastest release version of CloudBot. (mau5bot is running on Ubuntu Server Oneric Ocelot/11.10 with Python 2.7.2)
neerbot is the unstable bot, and runs on the lastest development version of CloudBot. (neerbot is running on Debian Wheezy/Testing with Python 2.7.2)
