Uncompress, go to src/ , rename pyGBot.ini.default to pygbot.ini and users.ini.default to users.ini, and modify the values in pyGBot.ini. The main ones you're interested in are host, port, nick, and channel. Once that's done, run pyGBot.py.

Run hashpw.py, it will prompt you for the relevant details.

Your best bet is to look at the existing plugins, as well as src/BasePlugin.py. All plugins must subclass BasePlugin. If you design a new plugin, you'll have to add it to the list of plugins to be loaded and started in pyGBot.ini. [Plugins] is plugins to load, and [Plugins.system.Startup] is plugins which will be activated immediately.

The system.Commands plugin provides a set of commands (extensible of course!) which are single-line calls made by users to enact some immediate response or action. The existing ones are primarily related to controlling the bot (join / part channel, send public message, etc) but any single-line command could conceivably be implemented here. Have a look at the existing commands in src/Plugins/system/CommandSpec, and the BaseCommand class in src/Plugins/system/Commands.py.
