# Terminal on Facebook Messenger
### TFM ver. 1.9
Allows user to take full control of the terminal of their computer through Facebook's messaging service.
## Disclamer
> I shall not collect user's content or information, or otherwise access Facebook, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without user's prior permission.
## Run
To use the script to full extent, make sure that you keep it at the home directory.
Run it like this :
```
python ~/main.py
```
Enter your facebook username and password when prompted.
> Alternatively, you can automate authentication. Create ```settings.txt``` file in repo's folder, and write email and password there in following format:
> ```
> [main]
> email = [email protected]
> password = passwordwithoutquotes
> ```
Wait till it sets up. To make sure that it has setup, your url should be ```'https://facebook.com/messages/*your own username*```.
To send the commands, search for your own name on the messenger and send commands to it.
>While using the ```set ... as ... ``` command, you can create a file named ``commands.txt`` and write the Alias name in the following format (seperated by single space):
>```
>Alias_command_without_quotes actual_command_without_quotes
>```
>The file has been included in the repo, which has some useful commands for Mac.
