Pluggable bot

Under development. Very useable but currently not feature complete.

Requirements
------------

Requires python 3.5 for asyncio and only runs on linux.

If you're a python developer, you can probably get this to run on not linux.

Installation
------------

You will need an active DBus user session bus. Depending on your distro, you might already have one (Arch linux, for example).

For Ubuntu:

.. code-block:: bash

$ apt-get install dbus-user-session python3-gi python3-dev python3-pip build-essential

For everyone:

.. code-block:: bash

$ python3 -m venv

.. code-block:: bash

$ source /bin/activate

.. code-block:: bash

$ ln -s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi /lib/python3.5/site-packages/

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install vexbot[process_manager]

Configuring
-----------

Make sure your virtual environment is activated. Then run:

.. code-block:: bash

$ vexbot_generate_certificates

.. code-block:: bash

$ vexbot_generate_unit_file

.. code-block:: bash

$ systemctl --user daemon-reload

Your bot is ready to run!

Running
-------

.. code-block:: bash

$ systemctl --user start vexbot

Or

.. code-block:: bash

$ vexbot_robot

Please note that vexbot has a client/server architecture. The above commands will launch the server. To launch the command line client:

.. code-block:: bash

$ vexbot

Exit the command line client by typing `!exit` or using `ctl+D`.
