pre-install / qstat / autogen.sh not committed

...as says, trying to get it up and running locally on my host. :-)

I'm going to put together docs and comments on the codebase now that its more stable. It went under a major refactor not too long ago :) (still doesn't excuse my lack of comments)

So here are a few steps & things you'll need to get BattleBot up and running locally.

• Clone the repo
• Pull in the Submodules (qstat) with git submodule init/update

  git submodule init
  git submodule update

• npm install (this should also build qstat)
• You will need to set 3 env vars. I created a dev.sh that sets all my environment vars before it loads BattleBot. The env that its running in: dev, A Steam WebAPI Key, and a Discord Bot Token.

#!/bin/bash
NODE_ENV=dev STEAM_KEY=YOUR_STEAM_KEY DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN nodemon battlebot.js

I'd also recommend installing nodemon so that BattleBot auto-reloads when you make a change.
npm install -g nodemon

So with that script in place, I can just run dev.sh and everything loads up with those env vars and as I make changes to BattleBot he auto-reloads

Hope this helps!

Thanks! Installation and steps to setup have been added to the README.md
