KittehBotGo

This is the GO port of my discord bot.

Redis

You need a redis server on the host. Make sure that you set "prefix" to the bots prefix and "token" to the token.

Installing from binary packages.

We provide binary packages for these following systems:

• Linux
  • amd64
  • i386
  • arm6
  • arm7
  • arm64

Please note that arm5 binaries and *BSD binaries are on hold until the buildserver is setup.

The releases are located here.

Installing from source.

Linux/BSD/Others

Make sure to install golang v1.8 or above.

Then create a gopath dir.

Next make sure to run export GOPATH=$PWD/gopath.

Then run go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep to download, install and compile dep to allow you to download KittehBotGO's required libraries.

Then run go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata to download go-bindata. go-bindata is used to store the assets for the built in dashboard inside the binary so that you don't neeed a folder full of assets wherever the bots executable is.

After that run go install github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/go-bindata to install and compile go-bindata.

Next run go get -u github.com/NamedKitten/KittehBotGo to download the bot's source.

Then navagate to $GOPATH/src/github.com/NamedKitten/KittehBotGo and run $GOPATH/bin/dep ensure to download the needed dependencies.

Next run go generate as this generates the file which the bot reads which contains all the assets.

Then you can navagate to $GOPATH/bin and run go install github.com/NamedKitten/KittehBotGo.

If you got no errors and there is a KittehBotGo file in the current directory then you have successfully compiled the bot.
