Running this Project

(1) Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

Note 1: If "python" doesn't work for the command above, try "python3"

(2) Activate your venv:

source venv/bin/activate

./venv/bin/activate     # I've also seen ./venv/Scripts/activate

(3) Install necessary packages:

pip install -r deps.txt

Note: If "pip" doesn't work for the command above, try "pip3"

(4) Run the bot:

python main.py

You should see an output command similar to the following (the bot name may differ):
