Requirements

Prerequisites

• A server for which you have admin rights
• An application and bot within it, and that bots token
• A MySQL server and user

Software dependencies

• Python 3.6+ and pypi
• MySQL or MariaDB
• git

Quickstart

1. Clone the repo and enter project root

   git clone [email protected]:you-will-love-each-other/health-bot.git
   cd health-bot

2. Install dependencies with pypi

   python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up environment variables:

   cp .env.example .env

   Populate the new .env file with your database credentials and the bot token for the bot you intend to use to test.

4. Run the bot with python:

   python bot.py

   Note: Some operating systems might use a different python bin or default to Python 2.7, so ensure you're using the correct one or adjust the command accordingly.
