How to set up the wm-bot

You will need a server with any operating system that can run mono, in this example we use ubuntu:

• Download mono (you can install only few parts, but mono-complete is best as it contains everything needed):
• sudo apt-get install mono-complete make git
• Create a user account for a bot:
• sudo useradd -m -r wm-bot
• Switch to newly created user and get a source code of bot

    sudo su - wm-bot
    git clone http://github.com/benapetr/wikimedia-bot src
    cd src
    make

• Now create a folder for bot, for example ~/prod

    mkdir ~/prod
    cd ~/prod
    mkdir modules
    cp -r ../src/scripts ../src/bin/configuration ../src/bin/*dll ../src/bin/*exe .
    cp ../src/bin/modules_debug/* modules

• Add yourself as root to the admins file
• Update configuration file

    cd configuration
    vim wmib.conf

• Now you can start the bot by running:

    cd ~/prod
    mono wmib.exe
