Setting up a local istance

If you want to test the bot by creating your personal istance, follow this steps:

Clone this repository or download it as zip.
Send a message to your bot on Telegram, even '/start' will do. If you don't, you could get an error
Copy the file resources/config/settings.yml.dist into resources/config/settings.yml and insert your configuration (If you don't have a token, message Telegram's @BotFather to create a bot and get a token for it)
Now you can compile it:

$ mvn package

and execute it :

$ cd target/
$ java -jar ERSUBot-0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
