[Releases](https://github.com/jackb-p/trivia-bot/releases) are available for tagged versions. These are compiled on Debian Jessie by Jenkins. Note that you still require the dependency library files, so you will still have to build V8 and add it to your `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. To run on other systems you will need to compile yourself - a CMake configuration is included. Windows releases will happen one day.
If you want to install a version for which a release does not exist, you will also have to compile manually. Compilation instructions are available for Linux below.
The config file is automatically generated if it is not present. The JSON format is used. You must edit the config file for the bot to work correctly, the bot token is required.
The current configuration options are as follows:
1.**General**
*`api_cert_file`: The path to the Discord API .crt file for HTTPS.
*`bot_token`: Your Discord bot token.
*`owner_id`: The user ID of the owner of the bot. This allows owner-only (maintenance) commands, such as `shutdown`.
2.**V8**
*`createjs_allowed_roles`: List of role names which are allowed to use the `createjs` command.
| `questions``interval` | Where `questions` and `interval` are integers. Makes the game last `questions` number of questions, optionally sets the time interval between hints to `interval` seconds. |
| stop | Stops the trivia game currently in the channel the message is sent from, if there is one. |
| help | Prints a help list, similar to this table. |
4. Install other dependencies: `sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev` (Package managers and names may vary, but all of these should be easy to find through a simple Google search.) V8 may require other dependencies.
5. Build V8. Put the library files into lib/v8/lib/ and the include files into lib/v8/include. More instructions will be added at some point for this step.
