# Run on Linux Server



## Installation on Server 

Connect to Server via ssh and copy folder to server.



Check if Python is installed (otherwise install it).



    python3 --version



Get current path on server with pwd: /home/ubuntu/chatgpt-telegram



    scp -r folder username@hostname:~/path/to/folder



Install venv and create virtual environment:



    sudo apt-get install python3-venv

    mkdir myenv

    cd myenv

    python3 -m venv .



Activate virtual environment:

    

    source venv/bin/activate



Check if the environment is active:



    echo $VIRTUAL_ENV



Install requirements:



    pip install -r requirements.txt 



    > **Note** This may not work and you have to manually install the packages via `sudo apt ...`



## Run on Server



To run a script on a server in the background use `nohup`



    nohup python3 bot.py &



If you want to log the output of the script into a file add this:



    nohup python3 bot.py > output.log &

    or

    nohup python3 bot.py > output.log 2>%1 &



To stop the script, use `ps` to get the process id and `kill` to stop the process.

    

    ps -ef | grep python3 

    kill -9  



or:

    jobs

    kill %



# Troubleshooting

## Chrome or Chromedriver Errors

The config.json file contained a **"proxy"**-field and it lead to an error I couldn't solve. I removed it and it worked. If you have the same problem, try to remove the field.



If you have some problems with selenium or chromedriver, make sure to have Chrome installed and that ChromeDriver is compatible with your Chrome version. You can check the version of Chrome with `google-chrome --version` and the version of ChromeDriver with `chromedriver --version`. They must have the same version!



You might also try to add the paths for the browser and driver into your `config.json` like this:

    

    "driver_exec_path": "./path/to/driver",

    "browser_exec_path": "./path/to/browser",



### Server Errors

- Stuck in "Browser spawned." 

Installed new chromedriver and google-chrome on Server.

/home/ubuntu/chatgpt-telegram-bot/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/revChatGPT/ChatGPT.py



- Chromedriver Issues on Server

Install the X Virtual Framebuffer display server

    apt install xvfb -y

Set DISPLAY environmental variable to :1

    export DISPLAY=:1

Start a Xvfb process in the background

    Xvfb $DISPLAY -screen $DISPLAY 1280x1024x16 &
