### Prerequisites
* Python 3.5+
* MongoDB - for storing data cache
* Some SQL database if you don't want to use default SQLite

* aiohttp 3.4.4
* async-timeout 3.0.1
* disco-py 0.0.12
* pafy 0.5.4

### Installation

```bash

The second command generates default configuration files to run your own BOT:
* discord_bot.json - disco-py bot configuration file
* discord_bot.py - basic bot class
* discord_bot.service - systemd unit file
* languages.py - named tuples with translation 
* settings.py - custom settings for your bot

### Basic Configuration
Here's what you absolutely need to configure to run the bot:
* discord_bot.json 
  * set the `token` value to your generated discord token
* settings.py 
  * set the CHANNELS dict values to channels IDs from your server
  * actually in basic config only the `main` channel is required
  * you can set all three channels with the same value
* discord_bot.service
  * if you want to setup a systemd service

#### Trade and mining data
All raw data for these features is pulled from this project API:   
https://scm.oceandatarat.org  
I strongly encourage to use this page for prices and other data reporting or to 
contribute in any other way to the linked project.
Please create your own account on that page and set the `SCM_TOKEN` in 
settings.py accordingly.

#### SQL Database
Astro Bot uses SQL Alchemy to handle database and SQLite database is 
used by default. If you want to use different database then please 
adjust `settings.py` file accordingly.  
There are two parameters there which are used to configure database:
```text
DATABASE_NAME
DATABASE_DIALECT
```

#### MongoDB
Mongo is used to store cache data (in case if external data sources are unavailable). 
It works with default settings. If you need to customize it find `MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING`
in settings.py
