|
**For computers running Windows OS**
|
||||||
|
* install [Anaconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/windows/) with python 3
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For computers running MacOS**
|
||||||
|
* open the terminal
|
||||||
|
* check which version of python you have:
|
||||||
|
> python -V
|
||||||
|
* if you have a python 2 version, you could install [Anaconda](https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/mac-os/) with python 3
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**For computers running Linux OS**
|
||||||
|
* open the terminal
|
||||||
|
* check which version of python you have:
|
||||||
|
> python -V
|
||||||
|
> python3 -V
|

|
||||||
|
* to run a bot, you can copy paste the commands which are already mentioned in the bot file, but a general command looks like this:
|
||||||
|
> python3 bot.py -d -j administratorbot@conversejs.org -r botsofconduct@muc.vvvvvvaria.org -n bot -p testing
