Note: Some experience in the PHP programming language - which this bot is written in - is recommended for using this bot. The documentation on this site assumes that you are familiar with at least the basics of PHP (such as declaring variables, how to quote strings, etc.). That said, this is only a recommendation - if you don't know PHP at all, you are welcome to try out LizardBot, and do ask for help on our IRC channel or elsewhere if you need it.

Starting the bot

To start the bot, enter the command line. You should then see a prompt like the one shown below.

username@host:~$

Use cd to change to the directory that lizardbot.php is in, assuming it is not in ~ (or /home/username). For example,

username@host:~$ cd bots
username@host:~/bots$

Now, start the bot. At the prompt, type the command below. You should see the same result as shown below.

username@host:~/bots$ php lizardbot.php

Loading pandorabot extension...
Pandorabot class loaded!
Welcome to the interface for LizardBot-1!
Loading essential config files...
OK!
Verifying required settings are present...
OK!
Please enter the FULL address of the network you wish to join (REQUIRED):

Note: If, instead of "OK!" you see an error message and you don't get the network address prompt, something went wrong in bot setup or you do not have PHP 5. Recheck that you have PHP version 5 and have correctly configured the bot.

Note: As of version 5.5.1.0b (r21), you can specify a configuration file to use at startup. For example, starting the bot with the command below would use the configuration file myconfig.lizardbot.conf.php. If no configuration file is specified at startup, the default of lizardbot.conf.php is used.

username@host:~/bots$ php lizardbot.php myconfig.lizardbot.conf.php

Enter the full address of the network, then strike enter. You should see something like this:

Please enter the FULL address of the network you wish to join (REQUIRED): irc.myircnetwork.com
Input of "irc.myircnetwork.com" received!

Please enter the desired nickname for your bot. If you enter "." and strike
enter, the default (in brackets) will be used

Nickname [mynick]:

The mynick value comes fromt the configuration file setting $nickname. Assuming that mynick is the nick you want to use, just enter a period and strike enter, as below.

Nickname [mynick]: .
No nickname received, using default of mynick.
Now checking validity of the nickname using standard regex tests...
Should I send identification information to NickServ? (yes/no, default no):

The system uses a regex pattern to make sure the nickname doesn't contain illegal characters. If it does, the loader will alert you to this and exit. The bot now asks if you wish to identify to services. Entering "y" or "yes" will cause it to do so, anything else will stop it from identifying. If you don't identify, the bot immediately begins the connection process, covered below. Assuming that you want to identify, you would enter "yes" or "y" as below.

Should I send identification information to NickServ? (yes/no, default no): y
OK, will send identification info to NickServ.
You will shortly be requested to enter the primary nickname of your account.
Note that this is only usable on Atheme, and cannot be used with other daemons,
such as Anope to the point that identification will fail. It is recommended
you use this function with Atheme to guarantee your bot correctly identifies.

To send the default (if present), enter "." and strike enter. To send NO
primary username, enter "#" and strike enter. Otherwise, enter the username
you would like to use and strike enter.

Please note that this is not the same as the bot nickname.

OK, what is the primary username on the account? [mynick]:

The bot is asking for the primary username of the bot's NickServ account. Note that this is only applicable if your irc server uses Atheme (this includes Freenode), but will cause identification to fail on other daemons (such as Anope, used on ClueNet). If you don't wish to send a username (because your server's services don't support it), enter "#" and strike enter (without the quotes, obviously). To use the default (set by $setNSUsername in the configuration file), enter "." and strike enter (without the quotes). Otherwise, you may specify a new one to use. Enter it and strike enter. We'll assume that you aren't using Anope, and don't wish to send a username to NickServ. You would do the following:

OK, what is the primary username on the account? [mynick]: #
"#" received, will not send a username to NickServ.
You will now be prompted to enter the NickServ password. Please note that THE
PASSWORD IS NOT SAVED and it will be VISIBLE IN THE CONSOLE IN CLEAR TEXT, but
should disappear when it leaves the screen buffer. For this reason, you should
make sure any files containg a shell log should only be readable by you and
only priveleged others.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO ENTER A PASSWORD AND ABORT IDENTIFICATION, ENTER "." AND
STRIKE ENTER AT THIS PROMPT.

OK, what is the password?

The bot now needs the password to identify. Note that the password will not be saved and will be displayed in clear text, so enter the password away from prying eyes. If you wish to not enter a password and abort the process of identification (but not connecting), enter a period and strike enter. After entering the password, the bot will proceed to connect. Note: If your password is ".", you really should change it. The connection process is shown below.

OK, what is the password? zomgmypass
Input received, using that to identify.

Please enter a comma-delimited list of channels to join:

The bot now needs the channels it is going to join. If you want it to join multiple channels, seperate them with commas. You must include the leading # in the channel names. You should see something like below:

Please enter a comma-delimited list of channels to join: ##chan1,#chan2
Input of "##chan1,#chan2" received!

This is all connection info that you should ignore. The bot will now output everything it sees.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! You now have a working copy of LizardBot! Now, look over the General Documentation for help on using the bot!
