The below are instructions on how to install Futurism on Mac OS X:
- Firstly, make sure you have installed Python.
- Download and install the Twisted framework using the Twisted installer for Mac OS X (click to download). You download that file and then simply launch it, and it will guide you through the installation process.
- 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 TextEdit 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. Simply double click on the RUN-futurism-Unix file! 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.
