An IRC bot with many commands, written by me and robotslave, if we forget about the fact that huge chunks of goat's interior have been lifted from many parts of the internet over the last ten years.

Originally written in java, with newer modules in scala and python (via jython)

Probably more useful to steal code from for your own bot, than to run your own instance, which would be a painful experience probably, as goat has not been designed for easy public consumption. But if you must:

1. Copy config/passwords.properties.sample to config/passwords.properties

   Edit to taste

2. Same deal with config/goatrc.sample

   the sample goatrc contains a long list of modules you can enable, but that list tends to get out of date. Modules are presently located in three places in the source; you can find them in:

   • src/main/java/goat/module/
   • src/main/scala/goat/module/
   • src/main/python/

3. Make sure you've got sbt installed.

   The recommended way to get sbt these days is by installing the typesafe stack

4. You need Java 7 to compile and run goat.

   The output of both java -version and javac -version should tell you you're running java 1.7.

   On ubuntu, this can be a colossal pain in the butt to figure out if you haven't dealt with it before. After you've done sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre you'll want to do both a sudo update-alternatives --config javac and a sudo update-alternatives --config javac to make sure you've got Java 7 configured as your default.

5. Run sbt compile

   sbt might complain about a missing file, give you a url for that file, and tell you where to put it. Follow those instructions.

6. Run sbt run

<goat> I don't care about sleeping and being rested for my responsibilities. I have to referee soccer tomorrow from 9-11, which involves a lot running. Afterwards I have to go to an open casting call, and I really need the money. It's 2 am right now and I'm high from smoking pot so I can't exactly sleep. I hope I burnout soon because I know that I need to be alert and not-tired looking tomorrow…Yet I cannot sleep.
