# chatter-bot

A bot that posts random predefined statuses on Mastodon, and also replies to mentions with random, predefined statuses.

First, do the pip!

```

pip install mastodon.py

```

Then, put the script onto your server!

```

nano path/to/script/chatter-bot.py

```

Don't forget to also crreate the statuses and replies!

```

nano path/to/script/statuses.json

```

```

nano path/to/script/replies.json

```

Then, schedule it! This is not a bot that is running at all times, so statuses and replies will go out *only* when it runs (to conserve resources, we don't need a bot that's up and running at all times).

```

chmod +x path/to/script/chatter-bot.py

```

```

crontab -e

```

```

*/15 * * * * /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/python /path/to/chatter-bot/chatter-bot.py

```

Set to run every 15 minutes, and to use a virtual environment (I prefer to do this cause it's easier to use pip that way, and there's less margin for error).

You're finished!
