# Install

## **Normal Installation**

1. Install [`Git`](https://git-scm.com/download/) and [`Python3.10+`](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31010/) Environment.

```bash
# Clone Repo
git clone https://github.com/LiteyukiStudio/LiteyukiBot --depth=1

# Change directory
cd LiteyukiBot

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate virtual environment
.\venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
source venv/bin/activate # Linux

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run Liteyuki
python main.py
```

> [!tip]
> It is recommended to use a virtual environment to run Liteyuki to avoid dependency conflicts. 
> You can use `python -m venv .venv` to create a virtual environment, and then use `.venv\Scripts\activate` to activate the virtual environment 
> (use `source .venv/bin/activate` to activate on Linux).


## **Run with Docker**

1. Install [`Docker`](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
2. Clone Repo `git clone https://github.com/LiteyukiStudio/LiteyukiBot --depth=1` 
3. Change directory `cd LiteyukiBot`
4. Build docker image `docker build -t liteyukibot .`
5. Run container `docker run -p 20216:20216 -v $(pwd):/liteyukibot -v $(pwd)/.cache:/root/.cache liteyukibot`

> [!tip]
> If you are using Windows, please use the absolute project directory `/path/to/LiteyukiBot` instead of `$&#40;pwd&#41;` <br>
> If you have modified the port number, please replace `20216:20216` with your port number
