To install dependencies using pip, run:

pip install cherrypy requests pyTelegramBotAPI sqlalchemy

You'll need a bunch of files that are not commited to the repository. All of them should be placed in root directory of the project:

• file containing your api token, api_token.txt
• files with your private and public SSL keys, webhook_pkey.pem and webhook_cert.pem

To generate your own self-signed SSL keys, use

openssl genrsa -out webhook_pkey.pem 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key webhook_pkey.pem -out webhook_cert.pem

When asked for "Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)" you should put your hostname or your public IP address if you don't have one.

To add webhook from python commandline:

import requests
params = {'url': 'https://<HOST_NAME>:<PORT>/<API_TOKEN>/'}  # Trailing slash is important.
files = {'certificate': open('webhook_cert.pem', 'r')}
r = requests.post('https://api.telegram.org/bot<API_TOKEN>/setWebhook', params=params, files=files)

To initialize the database:

python model.py
