Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Everything included in /objection_engine/Readme.md.
• Twitter Credentials.

Installing

Clone the repository with submodules

git clone --recursive https://github.com/LuisMayo/ace-attorney-twitter-bot

Install dependencies of this repo. Refer to objection engine's install instructions for any problems you may encounter

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Note about Linux systems

In Linux it may be a bit harder to set the enviorenment properly. More specifically it may be hard to install required codecs. If having a codec problem (like "couldn't find codec for id 27") you may need to compile ffmpeg and opencv by yourself. You should be good using these guides (tested on Ubuntu with success and on Debian without success)

• FFMPEG compilation guide
• Opencv compilation guide

Note about MongoDB

By default Mongita is used for easier deployment, but administrators can opt in to use full MongoDB. Set the environment variable ACE_MONGODB=URL for this and make sure MongoDB is reachable in said URL

Any contributions which improve or fix the project will be accepted as long as they don't deviate too much from the project objectives.
