A Facebook Messenger chatbot based on my classmate's messages. Uses markovify for handling Markov chains and also uses spaCy for NLP.

Running

Make sure you're running Python 3.7+ before doing any steps.

If you are planning to run this bot on a Raspberry Pi, the host OS must be 64-bit for spaCy support. Check this link for more details.

1. Clone the repository into a directory of your choice.
2. Move to the directory with the files in a terminal.
3. Make a new file called credentials.json, and use the template below to fill it up:

{
    "email": "<FACEBOOK_ACCOUNT_EMAIL_HERE>",
    "password": "<FACEBOOK_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD_HERE>"
}

4. Gather a dataset of some kind, then make a dataset.json file, containing an array of strings with messages used for the chain.
5. Run python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt to install required requirements.
6. Done! To run the bot, do python3 bot.py.
