If you are using Linux, you can use this easy setup script (does not install python):
sh -c "$(curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LaptopCat/livebio-tg/files/i.sh)"You can do this using the git CLI (if you have it installed) or just download the zip file on the Code page.
Download Python from here (Latest version is recommended, but anything higher than Python 3.7 should work)
Make sure to choose "Add Python to PATH" when installing to make this tutorial easy to follow!
Now, open your command prompt and use those commands to install the required modules:
python -m pip install telethon
python -m pip install rich
(replace python with python3 on linux)
To work, livebio-tg requires a Telegram app to change your bio.
To create a Telegram application, go to this page and log into your Telegram account.
After you login, you will need to fill out a form, you can fill it in with anything you want, but make sure that all fields are filled.
If there is no error while creating an app, you will see a screen with your app info.
You need to copy the "api_id" and the "api_hash" and write them down somewhere (you shouldn't share those values with anyone)
After you cloned the repository, head to the config.py file.
