you can run it on your computer or remix it into something new! you'll need node

and [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) (and git) installed. then run:

```

git clone https://github.com/lostfictions/catbot

cd catbot

yarn install

yarn dev

```

this bot runs on github actions. check [the workflow

file](.github/workflows/twoot.yml) for details.

the bot needs a few environment variables to be set if you want it to do stuff:

- `MASTODON_TOKEN`: a Mastodon user API token

- ~~`TWITTER_API_KEY`, `TWITTER_API_SECRET`, `TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY`, and

  `TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET`: you need all of these to make a tweet.~~ no longer

  used.

- `DATA_DIR`: the directory in which to search for cat parts and store data on

  which words have been used recently. (default: 'data', already provided

  locally)

additionally, `MASTODON_SERVER` (hardcoded in [src/env.ts](src/env.ts)) controls

the mastodon instance to which API calls should be made (usually where the bot

user lives.)
