Installing Dependencies

All of CloudBot's python dependencies are stored in the requirements.txt file, and can be installed with pip.

But first, you will need git, python3.5-dev and libenchant1c2a, libxml2-dev, libxslt-dev and zlib1g-dev. Install these with your system's package manager.

For example, on a Debian-based system, you could use:

[sudo] apt-get install -y python3.5-dev git libenchant-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev zlib1g-dev

Now we can install a python3.5 version of pip using the following command:

curl -Ls https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | [sudo] python3.5

Note that you need a python 3.5 version of pip, which is why we recommend using get-pip.py rather than installing python-pip or python3-pip in your system's package manager.

Finally, install the python dependencies using pip using the following command in the CloudBot directory:

pip install -r requirements.txt
