The purpose of this Zulip bot is to automatically post the daily chess puzzle from lichess.org in a specfic topic in a specific stream at a specific time of day every day. Read more about Lichess here.
- In your Zulip client, go to Settings -> Your bots, and add a new Generic bot
- Download its
zuliprcfile and put it at the root of this folder - Download the
zulip_botsPython package usingpip3 install zulip_bots - Place the contents of this folder into
/python-zulip-api/zulip_bots/zulip_bots/bots/lichesspuzzle/ - Install requirements with
pip3 install -r requirements.txt - Start the bot with:
zulip-run-bot lichesspuzzle --config-file zuliprc
(If you're having any problems with the last step, make sure lichesspuzzle is your working directory. If it still doesn't work, try zulip-run-bot lichesspuzzle.py --config-file zuliprc)
In these examples, I'll assume you've named your bot puzzlebot.
