Once you get to this step, you can exit out the installer.

## 2. Download Python

To download Python, use the installer from [here](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.2/python-3.8.2-amd64.exe). It should download as a .exe file.

Before running it, **PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING**

Find where the installer is located and right click on it. Select "run as administrator"

An installer window will appear. **Make sure to click "add python 3.8 to path"**

After that, click "install now" to install Python.

## 3. Download the bot

To start, open a new cmd window. If you don't know how to open cmd, you can find it by going to search and typing in "terminal"

![](https://613260287-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M4tYcD4ZJuCWOF68IVn%2F-M4tnWOQh4SHhor441FI%2F-M4tsoaoVjLHNGCYZtOd%2Fbeforecommands.png?alt=media\&token=02a07137-dd00-423d-9fef-3e0a0768418c)

Then, type in the following

```bash
cd desktop
```

```bash
git clone https://github.com/natewong1313/bird-bot
```

```bash
cd bird-bot
```

![](https://613260287-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M4tYcD4ZJuCWOF68IVn%2F-M4ttBZnrio-rOvMABbE%2F-M4tuMjq3eXoN74TQtCx%2Faftercommands.png?alt=media\&token=58b5db5c-cea7-4d10-8edc-54e8e31c981c)

After that, you will need to install the Python modules that help power the bot. To do this, type in the following

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt --user
```

![](https://613260287-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M4tYcD4ZJuCWOF68IVn%2F-M4ttBZnrio-rOvMABbE%2F-M4tuqcoLmSFJbSmY9CS%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-04-14%20at%202.19.54%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=6fc14f74-0c1c-41e3-98cb-d9b6b1d6290b)

You may get this error. If so, run the following command

```bash
pip install pycryptodomex
```

## 4. Run the bot

To run the bot, simply type

```bash
python app.py
```

After that, the bot should open up. 

If you want to run the bot again, simply run that same command again in the same cmd window. **If you exit out of the cmd window and want to run the bot again, open up a new cmd window and run these commands**

```bash
cd desktop/bird-bot
```

```bash
python app.py
```
