# Aleesa-Telegram-bot - Telegram chatty bot
## About
It is based on Perl modules [Telegram::Bot][1] and [Hailo][2] as conversation
generator.
I have to fork [Telegram::Bot][1] and update it according to features appeared
in [Telegram Bot API v5][3]. Also, I decide to rename it to avoid collision in
the future, now it is Teapot::Bot and is bundled with bot. When lib becomes
mature enough, maybe I release it separately.
Bot config located in **data/config.json**, sample config provided as
**data/sample_config.json**.
Bot can be run via **bin/aleesa-telegram-bot** and acts as daemon (double
fork() and detaches stdio).
## Installation
In order to run this application, you need to "bootstrap" it - download and
build all required dependencies and libraries.
You'll need perl-5.18 or newer, "Development Tools" or similar group of
packages, perl, perl-devel, perl-local-lib, perl-app-cpanm, sqlite-devel,
zlib-devel, openssl-devel, libdb4-devel (Berkeley DB devel), make,

After installing required dependencies it is possible to run:
```bash

```
