The bot takes arguments using CLI arguments, either using go run main.go to run straigth from source code or the binary in the releases section with ./monkebot-linux (on linux, remember to chmod +x monkebot-linux first).
You may use a website like twitch token generator to get a token for your bot. You'll also need a client id by creating an application in the twitch dev console. These will be placed in the bot's config file as specified in the following section.
The bot loads configurations from a json file. A template is created for you if the config file you specify doesn't exist yet:
➜ monkebot git:(main) go run main.go -cfg config.json
2024-10-01 10:00:23 WRN config file does not exist, creating from template path=config.json
2024-10-01 10:00:23 INF template created successfully, please edit the file and run the bot again path=config.jsonAfter that, edit the config file using a text editor and add your settings, then run it again. If a valid config file was provided, the bot will run and an sqlite3 file will be created in the path specified in the config file containing the database:
➜ monkebot git:(main) go run main.go -cfg config.json
