# General Bots
)
General Bot is a strongly typed LLM conversational platform package based chat bot server focused in convention over configuration and code-less approaches, which brings software packages and application server concepts to help parallel bot development.
## What is a Bot Server?
Bot Server accelerates the process of developing a bot. It provisions all code
base, resources and deployment to the cloud, and gives you templates you can
choose from whenever you need a new bot. The server has a database and service
backend allowing you to further modify your bot package directly by downloading
a zip file, editing and uploading it back to the server (deploying process) with
no code. The Bot Server also provides a framework to develop bot packages in a more
advanced fashion writing custom code in editors like Visual Studio Code, Atom or Brackets.
Everyone can create bots by just copying and pasting some files and using their
favorite tools from Office (or any text editor) or Photoshop (or any image
editor). LLM and BASIC can be mixed used to build custom dialogs so Bot can be extended just like VBA for Excel.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
Before you embark on your General Bots journey, ensure you have the following tools installed:
- **Node.js (version 20 or later)**: General Bots leverages the latest features of Node.js to provide a robust and efficient runtime environment. Download it from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
- **Git (latest stable version)**: Essential for version control and collaborating on bot projects. Get it from [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/downloads).
### Quick Start Guide
Follow these steps to get your General Bots server up and running:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/GeneralBots/BotServer
```
This command creates a local copy of the General Bots server repository on your machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd BotServer
```
This changes your current directory to the newly cloned BotServer folder.
3. Install dependencies and start the server:
```bash
npm install
npm run start
```
The `npm install` command installs all necessary dependencies for the project. `npm run start` builds your bot server locally and serves it through a development server.
### Accessing Your Bot
Once the server is running, you can access your bot at `http://localhost:4242/`. This local server allows you to interact with your bot and test its functionality in real-time. If you want to publish
without password, define [ADMIN_OPEN_PUBLISH](https://github.com/GeneralBots/BotBook/master/docs/chapter-07-gbot-reference#enviroment-variables-reference) as true in BotServer .env file.
To publish bot packages and initiate a conversation with the bot, use the command:
```
/publish
```
This command prepares your bot packages for use and allows you to start interacting with your bot immediately.
## Development Workflow
### 1. Project Structure
The General Bots server follows a modular architecture designed for flexibility and scalability. Here's an overview of the main directories:
```
BotServer/
├── packages/
│ ├── core.gbapp/ # Core bot functionality
│ ├── kb.gbapp/ # Knowledge base packages
├── src / # Main entry point
└── package.json # Project configuration
```
This structure allows for easy navigation and management of different aspects of your bot project.
### 2. Creating Custom Packages
One of the strengths of General Bots is its extensibility. You can create custom packages to enhance your bot's capabilities:
- **.gbkb (Knowledge Base packages)**: Store and manage your bot's knowledge and responses.
- **.gbtheme (Theme packages)**: Customize the visual appearance of your bot interface.
- **.gbapp (Application packages)**: Add new features and functionalities to your bot.
Each package type has its own structure and purpose, which we'll explore in depth in their respective chapters.
## Samples
Several samples, including a Bot for AD Password Reset, are avaiable on the [repository list](https://github.com/GeneralBots).
