@ -19,23 +19,27 @@ otouto is an independently-developed Telegram API bot written in Lua. Originally
## Setup
You _must_ have Lua (5.2+), lua-socket, lua-sec, and lua-cjson installed. To upload files, you must have curl installed. To use fortune.lua, you must have fortune installed.
**Before doing anything**, open config.lua and set `bot_api_key` to the authentication token you received from the Botfather.
Clone the repository and set the following values in `config.lua`:
You may want to set: `admin`, your Telegram ID; `time_offset`, a positive or negative number, denoting the difference, in seconds, of your system clock to UTC; and `lang`, a lowercase, two-letter code representing your language. Some plugins are not enabled by default. If you wish to enable them, add them to the `plugins` table (before help.lua).
- `bot_api_key` as your bot authorization token from the BotFather.
- `admin` as your Telegram ID.
- `time_offset` as the difference, in seconds, of your system clock to UTC.
- `lang` as the two-letter code representing your language.
To start the bot, run `./launch.sh`. To stop the bot, send "/halt" from your admin account, and then Ctrl+C out of the loop. If you terminate the bot manually, you risk data loss. If you do not wish the bot to restart automatically, run it with `lua bot.lua`.
Some plugins are not enabled by default. If you wish to enable them, add them to the `plugins` array.
When you are ready to start the bot, run `./launch.sh`. To stop the bot, send "/halt" through Telegram. If you terminate the bot manually, you risk data loss. If you do you not want the bot to restart automatically, run it with `lua bot.lua`.
Note that certain plugins, such as translate.lua and greetings.lua, will require privacy mode to be disabled. Additionally, some plugins may require or make use of various API keys:
