## 🚀 Let's Get This Party Started\!



Ready to supercharge your live streams? Here’s how to get TubeManLive up and running:



Since you're using TubeManLive, the Chrome version being referred to is the one that TubeManLive interacts with.



You're using **Chrome version 137.0.7151.70** with TubeManLive.

Understood! So you're using a specific Chrome version for your testing.



Here's what you'll need, keeping it simple:



---



### 📋 What You'll Need



* **Python 3.x**: Get it from [python.org/downloads](https://www.python.org/downloads/).

* **Google Chrome Browser**: You need Chrome installed. Download it from [google.com/chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/).

    * **I'm using Chrome version 137.0.7151.70.**

* **ChromeDriver**: Since you're using Chrome version **137.0.7151.70**, you'll need the matching ChromeDriver.

    * If you have **Selenium 4.6 or newer**, it should handle downloading the correct driver for you automatically.

    * Otherwise, you'll need to manually download ChromeDriver version 137.0.7151.70 from [googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/](https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/).



### 📦 Quick Setup



1.  **Get the Code:**



    ```bash

    git clone  # Don't forget to replace this with your actual repo URL!

    cd 

    ```



2.  **Spin Up a Virtual Environment (Smart Move\!):**



    ```bash

    python -m venv venv

    # On Windows: .\venv\Scripts\activate

    # On macOS/Linux: source venv/bin/activate

    ```



3.  **Install the Essentials:**

    Create a file named `requirements.txt` in your main project folder and paste this inside:



    ```

    Flask==2.3.3

    selenium==4.22.0

    webdriver-manager==4.0.1

    spacy==3.7.4

    nltk==3.8.1

    ```



    Now, run this command:



    ```bash

    pip install -r requirements.txt

    ```



4.  **One-Time Downloads (Might Happen Automatically):**

    TubeManLive might download some language data the first time you run it. If it gets stuck, you can manually trigger it:



    ```bash

    # For NLTK's sentiment brain

    python -c "import nltk; nltk.download('vader_lexicon')"



    # For SpaCy's language model

    python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

    ```



5.  **Folder Structure Check:**

    Just make sure your project looks like this:



    ```

    your_project_folder/

    ├── app.py                  # This is the main brain!

    ├── templates/

    │   └── dashboard.html      # Your awesome dashboard lives here

    └── static/

        ├── css/                # For future styling magic

        └── js/                 # For future interactive wizardry

    ```



    Make sure you've got the `dashboard.html` file (from our previous chat) inside that `templates/` folder\!



-----



## 🚀 Fire It Up\!



1.  **Activate your virtual environment** (if you haven't already).

2.  **Launch TubeManLive:**

    ```bash

    python app.py

    ```

    You'll see some techy messages, then look for:

    ```

     * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000

    ```

3.  **Open your browser** and head to:

    **`http://127.0.0.1:5000`**



-----



## 🎮 How to Play



1.  **Grab a Live URL:** Find a YouTube live stream (must be *active* and live, not a past broadcast\!). Copy its URL.

2.  **Paste & Go:** Paste that URL into the input box on the TubeManLive dashboard.

3.  **Hit "Start Scraping":** Watch the magic happen\! The dashboard will start filling with live chat messages, color-coded by sentiment.

4.  **Monitor & Mingle:** Keep an eye on the sentiment stats and author lists to get the pulse of your community.

5.  **"Stop Scraping":** When you're done, just hit the stop button.
