The below are instructions on how to install Futurism on Linux:
- Firstly, make sure you have installed Python.
- You'll need to download and install the Twisted framework. On a Debian-based Linux (like Ubuntu), this is really easy. Open the Terminal and type the following command:
sudo apt-get install python-twisted
If all goes well, it should ask you for your administrator password, and then install the required technologies if they are not already installed. If you do not see any errors or warnings in the message you get back (it may take some time to install), it’s all worked out fine! - Finally, now that we have all the technologies required installed, install the bot itself by downloading the Futurism 0.8 zip file and then extracting it a folder of your choice!
Configure your bot
- Now you need to tell your bot what settings you’d prefer and what credentials the bot should log in with. Simply go to the folder you installed Futurism in, and open the file fuconfig.py (can show up as simply fuconfig) with Gedit or other compatible editor and edit to your heart’s content! Also, if there's a file called fuconfig.pyc (with the extra c), delete it.
Launch your bot
- You’ll need to do the following every time you want to launch your bot. Make sure the RUN-futurism-Unix file has execute permissions, then simply double click on it, and say you want to run it in the Terminal if it asks. You can also alternatively drag it to an idle Terminal window. If all goes well, your bot should now launch in a Terminal window (called “the bot window”) and join the rooms you specified in the config file. Remember that this bot window has to be open all the time you want your bot to run. If you want to shut off the bot, simply close the bot window.

Registration
When you have set up your bot, you have to register your bot on the chat network. As detailed in the link, this is done by sending an e-mail, and if the dA administrators do not reply within 48 hours, it is considered accepted. Please do not use your bot on dAmn until it is considered accepted.
