Start the bot

The "usual" way

To start the bot you simply need to launch, either your terminal (Linux, Mac & Windows), or your Command Prompt ( Windows) .

Before running the bot you will need to install all the requirements with this command:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

After that you can start it with

python bot.py

Note: You may need to replace python with py, python3, python3.11, etc. depending on what Python versions you have installed on the machine.

Docker

Support to start the bot in a Docker container has been added. After having Docker installed on your machine, you can simply execute:

docker compose up -d --build

Note: -d will make the container run in detached mode, so in the background.
