Installation and Setup

Prerequisites

1. Python: Ensure Python 3.x is installed. Download it from python.org.
2. Google Chrome: Install the latest version of Google Chrome.
3. ChromeDriver: ChromeDriver will be automatically installed using webdriver_manager.

1. Clone the repository:

   https://github.com/monimahmadh/what_bot.git
   cd whatsapp-automation-bot

2. Install required Python libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file in the root directory to store phone numbers:

   PHONE_NUMBERS=+8801878119442,+880164*****,+19758*****
   

4. Create a config.py file to store your Chrome user data settings. It will allow you to avoid re-scanning the QR code:
