Since people were starting to ask - here's how you can start the current version of the bot (until I create the dashboard there is really not much to do, but if you ask anyways...)
Now that we have this out of the way
First, you'll need to install nodejs (the LTS version)
Go here to do that
NodeJS comes with it's own package manager (called NPM), everything else now will be done with that.
Clone the repo into any folder, open the terminal (console) inside
Now we will install all the dependencies we need
npm install
After it was all installed, you'll need to install gulp, to build everything we need
npm install -g gulp-cli
Afterwards we'll need MongoDB, you can grab the installer here
When that's done, you'll want to launch mongo in a separate terminal (console)
mongod --dbapth <any path>
Replace the <any path> with a path you want your DB to be stored in
And last, but not least - you'll need the required credentials for twitch client to connect.
Go here (on your main account)
Give your app any name you want, in the Redirect URI put localhost
And choose Chat Bot for category
Twitch will give you the Client ID which you'll have to put into the respective field inside credentials.json (in the project's root)
At last - create a new user for your bot to use, log in, and go here to get the oatuh token.
When you've done that, paste it into the fields of identity section inside credentials.json (don't worry, we're not tracking changes there and I'll soon move all this stuff to the DB), NEVER COMMIT credentials.json with your data to PUBLIC REPOS
Finally, put your channel's name (starting with #) into the channels array inside credentials.json, you can use any channel for debigging, though.
Now that you have all of that running, build your UI
gulp build
And then start the server
npm run watch
If you're planning to tinker with ui, enable rebuilding by launching
gulp default
Instead of
gulp build
