== Installation ==
=== Dependencies ===
* I am a [http://python.org/ Python] bot. That means you need [http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/ Python 2.6]. On Ubuntu:
<pre>$ sudo apt-get install python2.6</pre>
* I also need [http://upload.gaiatools.com/files/wikitools_mod.tar_0.gz a modified version of wikitools] to use the MediaWiki API. Comes with a separate hand-crafted module called wikiUpload to allow file uploading without MediaWiki 1.16. On Ubuntu:
<pre>$ wget 'http://upload.gaiatools.com/files/wikitools_mod.tar_0.gz'
$ tar xfv wikitools*.tar.gz && rm wikitools*.tar.gz
$ mv wikiUpload.py MultipartPostHandler.py `dirname "/path/to/bot.py"`
$ cd wikitools*
$ sudo python2.6 setup.py install</pre>
* (''Optional'') [http://cpulimit.sourceforge.net/ cpulimit] can be used to limit the bot's often-high CPU usage when applying filters to a lengthy page, to ensure sufficient resources to other programs running concurrently on the server. This does slow the bot down but makes it act nicer to others, which is welcome on a shared host. On Ubuntu:

<pre>$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone http://git.optf2.com/steamodd.git
$ cd steamodd
$ sudo python2.6 setup.py install</pre>
* (''Optional'') [http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush/ pngcrush] can be used to crush PNG images in file filters. Without it, images will not be considered for crushing. On Ubuntu:
<pre>$ sudo apt-get install pngcrush</pre>

That's it!

=== File structure ===
* <code>botConfig.py</code>: The bot's configuration. A sample configuration file is [[#botConfig.py|given below]].
* <code>bot.py</code>: The bot's core. Full source is [[#bot.py|given below]]. Make sure to make it executable:
<pre>chmod +x bot.py</pre>
Both files have to be in the same directory. To run the bot, assuming Python is in your path and that you are in the bot's source directory:
<pre>./bot.py</pre>
