Installation
Installation is the first step you need to take, therefore choose how you want to proceed:
Downloading a pre-compiled Binary
You can always find the latest pre-compiled binary on the Releases-Page of the Github repository. The latest release contains binaries for MacOS (darwin), Linux (amd64 / arm) and Windows.
This way of installation is the easiest one:
- Download the archive for your system
- Unzip / untar the archive
- Find a binary in the location you unpacked the archive to
The binary you get from this is everything you need: It contains the bot as well as the web-interface to configure the bot.
Move this binary to a location you will find it again later.
Using a pre-built Docker image
The Docker image is automatically built from the source and provided in two different variants:
| Image | Description |
|---|---|
ghcr.io/luzifer/twitch-bot:develop |
The latest development version, not recommended for use as your main bot, perfect for testing the latest changes not yet released. |
ghcr.io/luzifer/twitch-bot:latest |
Automatically updated on every versioned release, you just can use this tag to always have the latest stable version. Pay attention: This automatically switches over on major / breaking releases! |
ghcr.io/luzifer/twitch-bot:<version> |
If you don’t want to auto-update you can use the tagged version in the Docker image (i.e. tag v3.15.0 would be available as luzifer/twitch-bot:v3.15.0) |
Building the Binary yourself
If you want to do customizations or just don’t trust my build system you can execute the whole build yourself which requires you to have the latest Golang release and LTS NodeJS release available on your machine.
# First checkout the code
$ git clone https://github.com/Luzifer/twitch-bot.git
$ cd twitch-bot
# Optionally switch to a release tag
$ git checkout v3.15.0
# Second build the binary
$ make build_prod
Move this binary to a location you will find it again later.
