Requirements

Python >=3,5

Pip modules:
	discord.py
	weather-api == 0.0.3
	google

Installation

If you don't have Python 3.5 follow the commented out instructions in the requirements.txt, after that just install modules with this command:

sudo python3.5 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

And you're done!

Usage

First of all add the bot to your channel by clicking here and inviting it. After you've done, edit the CHANNEL variable (in 17th line) to be your channel ID. Then just go into the ChatBot folder and execute discord_server.py:

python3.5 discord_server.py

You should see some logging messages and a confirmation that you've logged in. Finally the bot is ready to use!

Troubleshooting

Permission denied

If you're experiencing problems with codio, more specifically getting the permission denied error, use this command:

sudo chown -R $USER ChatBot-ALL-Project/

If you're getting the error from a different folder just replace the ChatBot-ALL-Project/ with it.

Executing the bot gives a SyntaxError

Talking about this error in particular:

    async def on_ready():
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

In python versions older than 3.5 this is considered invalid syntax. Fix this by installing a newer version of python, preferably 3.5.2, you can find instructions on how to do it in the requirements file.
