Tutorial Bot Template

Template

Once you have got the hang of working with the embed-able bots we can start to think about creating our own bots with s full file system implementation. We start with downloading a basic bot template using the Admin Tool

Create a directory for your bot to be stored in and then run Admin Tool using the following commands

mkdir mybot
cd mybot
python3 -m programy.admin.tool download template-y

This will download all the necessary template files from GitHub and set up your environment for the tutorial work.

You can run the bot at any time by using the provided script

cd scripts/xnix
./template-y.sh
Loading, please wait...
/Users/keith/Documents/Development/Python/Projects/AIML/template-y/scripts/xnix
