## PircBotX in 3 Steps

A brief getting started guide

* [Download PircBotX](https://github.com/pircbotx/pircbotx/wiki/Downloads)

* Create and execute the following class:

```java

import org.pircbotx.Configuration;

import org.pircbotx.PircBotX;

import org.pircbotx.hooks.ListenerAdapter;

import org.pircbotx.hooks.types.GenericMessageEvent;

public class MyListener extends ListenerAdapter {

    @Override

    public void onGenericMessage(GenericMessageEvent event) {

        //When someone says ?helloworld respond with "Hello World"

        if (event.getMessage().startsWith("?helloworld"))

            event.respond("Hello world!");

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        //Configure what we want our bot to do

        Configuration configuration = new Configuration.Builder()

                .setName("PircBotXUser") //Set the nick of the bot. CHANGE IN YOUR CODE

                .addServer("irc.freenode.net") //Join the freenode network

                .addAutoJoinChannel("#pircbotx") //Join the official #pircbotx channel

                .addListener(new MyListener()) //Add our listener that will be called on Events

                .buildConfiguration();

        //Create our bot with the configuration

        PircBotX bot = new PircBotX(configuration);

        //Connect to the server

        bot.startBot();

    }

}

```

* Join the #pircbotx channel on irc.freenode.net and send `?helloworld` . Your bot will respond with `Hello world!` Since its a GenericMessageEvent, it will also respond when private messaged. Congratulations, you just wrote your first bot!
