Installation

PyPI

Lala is available on the Python Package Index. This makes installing it with pip as easy as:

pip install lala

Git

If you want the latest code or even feel like contributing, the code is available on Github.

You can easily clone the code with git:

git clone git://github.com/mineo/lala.git

Now you can start hacking on the code or install it system-wide:

python2 setup.py install

Setup

Setting up the bot is relatively easy: Simply copy the supplied example config file from:

/usr/share/lala/config.example

to either:

/etc/lala.config

or:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lala/config

or (if the latter is not set):

$HOME/.lala/config

After that, you can modify the config file as you wish.

Starting the bot

Starting the bot is very easy as it installs a twistd plugin:

twistd lala

For now, only a --verbose option is provided which makes the output written to the log file more verbose.

Additionally, twistd itself offers a few options, use:

twistd --help

to view them.
