I've decided to see what I can do to help make the JupiterBroadcasting JBot a little better. So I've setup a local copy of JBot on FreeBSD 10.2 to tinker with. This is a guide on setting up JBot on FreeBSD 10.

Prepare the Environment¶

• Make sure the system is up to date:
  

  pkg update && pkg upgrade
  

• Install a few dependencies:
  

  pkg install ruby git rubygem-bundler rubygem-mysql rubygem-sqlite3 rubygem-nokogiri node npm
  

Install JBot¶

• Download the latest JBot development version from GitHub:
  

  git clone https://github.com/rikai/Showbot.git
  cd Showbot
  git checkout devel
  

• Create an environment file for JBot to use:
  

  cp .env.example
  

• Bundle the packages needed to run JBot:
  

  bundle
  foreman run rake db:migrate
  

• Create a cinchize config file:
  

  cp cinchize.yml.example cinchize.yml
  

• Create a data.json file:
  

  vi public/data.json
  

  • And add the following:
    

    {
      'live': false,
      'broadcast': {
        'slug': 'show_slug_here'
      }
    }
    

• Now run the JBot website and IRC bot:
  

  bundle exec foreman start -f Procfile.local
