3. pip install chatimusmaximus[gui,javascript_webscrapper,irc,socket_io,xmpp,youtube]
4. create a settings.yml file using default_settings.yml as guidance
5. chatimusmaximus --settings_path /path/to/your/settings.yml

1. pip install -r requirements.txt
2. python setup.py develop
3. python chatimusmaximus

Chatimusmaximus uses messaging and subprocesses for different services. This has some advantages/disadvantages of this approach, but the reason it's staying is it allows the developer some decreased congnitive load while developing this project.

The socket address expected is in the format of tcp://[ADDRESS]:[PORT_NUMBER]. For example tcp://127.0.0.1:5617 is a valid socket address. 127.0.0.1 is the ADDRESS and 5617 is the PORT_NUMBER.

127.0.0.1 was chosen specifially as an example because for IPV4 it is the "localhost". Localhost is the computer the program is being run on. So if you want the program to connect to a socket on your local computer (you probably do), use 127.0.0.1.

Port numbers range from 0-65536, and can be mostly aribratry chosen. For linux ports 0-1024 are reserved, so best to stay away from those. Port 5555 is usually used as an example port for coding examples, so probably best to stay away from that as well.
