Installation

Taigabot runs on Python 3.9 to 3.11. See install.md for ubuntu or alpine instructions.

The main dependencies are BeautifulSoup4, lxml and requests. Some unused plugins have additional dependencies.

Other dependencies

Some plugins require extra python packages, more information can be found on install.md § specific dependencies.

Many plugins require API keys from different services. Currently taiga needs 36 api keys.

Run

Once you have installed the required dependencies, you need to create a config file:

cp config.default config
vim config
python3 bot.py

It is highly recommended to use a virtual environment.
