Installation
This page will go through how to download the bot and other tools.
The way you download the bot is by using Git. Git is a distributed version-control system for tracking changes in source code during software development (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git).
(You don't need to use Git to download the bot, but it makes it a lot easier to update the bot)
Download Git from https://git-scm.com/
Git should already be installed, check if it is by opening the terminal and using the command git -v.
Download from https://nodejs.org/.
Once you have installed Git, open a command prompt or a terminal and navigate to the location where you want the bot to be saved. You can always move the folder to a different location, but for this example we will use the desktop. Write cd Desktop in the console and hit enter, then you should see it says something like C:\Users\<Your Username>\Desktop>. When at the desktop, use the command git clone https://github.com/Nicklason/tf2-automatic.git. Once it is done cloning, then the bot has been downloaded to a new folder called tf2-automatic.
When the bot has been downloaded you need to install the modules. Do this by navigating to the tf2-automatic folder with the command prompt or a terminal and using the command npm install.
The bot is made with typescript. This means that you need to compile the source code to be able to run it.
Steps to compile the source:
- Install typescript using
npm install typescript@latest -g - Install dependencies using
npm install - Compile the source using
tsc -p .ornpm run compile
The compiled code will now be inside a folder called dist.
This is most likely because you are missing the permissions to install typescript globally. If you are on a VPS, then use sudo npm install typescript@latest -g.
You probably forgot the dot.
