Install OctoBot on Python index package (pip)

Requirements

• Python 3.10 (download)
• Add python to your PATH (tutorial windows)

Installation

In a command line (with python in your PATH) type the following command:

python3.10 -m pip install OctoBot

You can change python3.10 to the name of the python binary you added to your PATH (for example on linux you may use python3 or even python if the python —version commands outputs a python 3.10 version)

Usage

OctoBot

Update

Executing the following command will update your Python OctoBot using the latest version, as well as installing the latest requirements.

python3.10 -m pip install -U OctoBot

The next restart will automatically update your OctoBot tentacles.

Start multiple OctoBots

To run a second OctoBot on the same computer :

1. Create a new directory and enter it

2. Start OctoBot and stop it after 1-2min to let it create default files

3. Open user/config.json file

4. Change web config lines

   FROM

   "web": {
       "auto-open-in-web-browser": true
   }

   TO

   "web": {
       "auto-open-in-web-browser": true,
       "port": 8000
   }

   In this example, the second OctoBot’s web interface is accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

   Any port can be used except those already used by another OctoBot or any software on your system.

5. Start the new OctoBot
