## Installation
1. Download the project files through `git clone https://github.com/Steffo99/greed.git` (recommended) or [this link](https://github.com/Steffo99/greed/archive/master.zip).
2. Install the project requirements with `pip install -r requirements.txt`
3. _Optional: run `pip install coloredlogs` to have colored logging output._
3. Run `python -OO core.py` to generate the configuration file.
4. Open the config folder and edit the `config.ini` file following the contained instructions.
Ensure the `is_template` field is set to `no`.
5. Run `python -OO database.py` to generate the database tables.
6. _Optional: customize the `strings.py` file_
7. Run `python -OO core.py` again to run the bot.
8. Open Telegram, and send a `/start` command to your bot to be promoted to administrator.
This installation procedure assumes you have `python3.8` installed on an Ubuntu server. If you have a different version installed,
1. Download the project files by running:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Steffo99/greed.git
```
2. Create a new virtualenv:
```bash
virtualenv -p python3.8 venv
```
3. Activate the virtualenv:
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
```
4. Install the project requirements:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
5. _Optional:_ For colored output, install [coloredlogs](https://pypi.org/project/coloredlogs/):
```bash
pip install coloredlogs
```
6. Generate the configuration file:
```bash
python -OO core.py
```
7. Edit the configuration file to your preferences:
```bash
nano config/config.ini
```
Ensure the `is_template` field is set to `no`.
Press **Ctrl+X** and then two times **Enter** to save and quit.
8. Generate the database:
```bash
python -OO database.py
```
9. _Optional:_ customize the files in the `strings` folder for custom messages.
10. Start the bot:
```bash
python -OO core.py
```
11. Open Telegram, and send a `/start` command to your bot to be promoted to 💼 Manager.
12. _Optional:_ Stop the bot, and start it in a `screen` so it can keep running even after you close the console window:
```bash
screen venv/bin/python -OO core.py
```
To safely detach the screen, press Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+D.
## Usage
All the bot features are available through Telegram.
As the administrator, you can add new products, check the placed orders, create new transactions and generate .csv log files.
All features can be accessed through the Telegram bot chat.
As a 💼 Manager, you can add new products, check the placed orders, create new transactions and generate .csv log files.
You can also add additional 💼 Managers.
Users will be able to add credit to their wallet, place orders and contact you in case they require assistance.
## Updating
### Through `git`
To update the bot, run the following commands:
If you downloaded `greed` through `git`, you can update it by running:
```
```bash
git stash
git pull
git stash pop
```
### By redownloading the zip file
If you downloaded `greed` through the zip archive, you can update it by redownloading [the latest version](https://github.com/Steffo99/greed/archive/master.zip) and by moving your `config.ini` and `database.sqlite` (if applicable) files to the new folder.
## Documentation
`greed` currently does not have a documentation page, but you can try to read the [paper](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f4MKVr0B7RSQfWTSa_6ZO0LM4nPpky_GX_qdls3EHtQ/edit?usp=sharing) (in Italian) I wrote for my final Scuola Superiore exam about it.

If you are proficient in Python, you can also try reading the code. Most of the bot interactions can be found in the [`worker.py`](worker.py) file, so try to have a look there.
