CloudBot is a simple, fast, expandable open-source Python IRC Bot!

This is my fork of cloudbot. For the official version, see This github project.

Firstly, CloudBot will only run on Python 3.4 or higher. Because we use the asyncio module, you will not be able to use any other versions of Python.

To install CloudBot on *nix (linux, etc), see here

To install CloudBot on Windows, see here

Before you run the bot, rename config.default.json to config.json and edit it with your preferred settings. You can check if your JSON is valid using jsonlint.com!

Once you have installed the required dependencies and renamed the config file, you can run the bot! Make sure you are in the correct folder and run the following command:

python3.4 -m cloudbot

Note that you can also run the cloudbot/__main__.py file directly, which will work from any directory.

python3.4 CloudBot/cloudbot/__main__.py

Specify the path as /path/to/repository/cloudbot/main.py, where cloudbot is inside the repository directory.

The documentation is crapy. You should'nt use it...

More at the Wiki Main Page.

You can find a number of example bots in #CloudBot.
