Installation

Clone tbot’s repository, then install tbot using

$ python3 setup.py install --user

Also, if you haven’t done this already, you need to add ~/.local/bin to your $PATH.

Note

tbot requires at least Python 3.6. Any version older than that will not work.

You can install tbot’s man-page using

$ sudo python3 setup.py install_data

Completions

tbot supports command line completions. Enable them by adding

source /path/to/tbot/completions.sh

to your .bashrc or equivalent.

Troubleshooting

If the above did not work out of the box, take a look at the following list:

tbot not found

If your shell complains about the tbot command not existing, you have probably forgotten to add ~/.local/bin to your $PATH. Do this by adding the following line to your .bashrc or equivalent:

export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH

Installation successful, running tbot always throws an exception

If running tbot always throws an exception when run (even without any arguments), try forcing a clean reinstallation:

$ pip3 uninstall tbot
$ # In the tbot source directory
$ rm -rf build/ dist/ tbot.egg-info/
$ python3 setup.py install --user

Paramiko

If the installation does not work, most likely it is an error when installing paramiko. I recommend installing paramiko through your distros package manager (eg. python3-paramiko for Fedora). If your distros version of paramiko is too old, you will then need to install paramiko with pip (after installing the distro package):

$ pip3 install --user paramiko
