1. mkvirtualenv mrbutler-bot -p $(which python3)

2. Edit ${VIRTUAL_ENV}/bin/postactivate as following:

   #!/bin/bash
   # This hook is sourced after this virtualenv is activated.
   
   export MRB_DISCORD_TOKEN="YOUR DISCORD TOKEN HERE"
   export MRB_ENV="dev"

3. Edit ${VIRTUAL_ENV}/bin/postdeactivate as follows:

   #!/bin/bash
   # This hook is sourced after this virtualenv is deactivated.
   
   unset MRB_DISCORD_TOKEN
   unset MRB_ENV

4. deactivate and workon mrbutler-bot to load your environment variables

5. pip install -r requirements-dev.txt to install dev requirements.

6. Once pip has installed everything correctly, you should run tests to confirm everything is working as expected. Running make test will execute the entire testing suite inside the test docker container.

7. You're all done! You can use docker-compose up -d --build to start the containers.

You can run the bot directly in your virtualenv or you can use the container that is built by docker-compose. Both depend on those environment variables you already setup, so you can switch back and forth with ease.

1. workon mrbutler-bot

2. python ./bot/bot.py

3. Ctrl-C when done

1. workon mrbutler-bot

2. docker-compose up --build bot

• You can optionally add -d before --build if you do not mind the container detaching from your session and will docker-compose stop it later on your own.

3. Ctrl-C when done
