Windows System Fix

After trying to get the bot to work with windows, I seem to have found a solution where everything I have tested is working.

Bot setup instructions Windows 10:

1. Install Ubuntu Execute this command and restart PC. Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux 1b. Download Ubuntu from Microsoft Store and install

Run the following commands through Ubuntu

2. Update sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

3. Install NodeJS sudo apt-get install curl python-software-properties curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install nodejs

4.Install GCC through build-tools sudo apt install build-essential

5.Install Node-gyp sudo npm install -g node-gyp

6.Create a discord bot https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/

7.Create osu! API Key https://osu.ppy.sh/p/api/

8.Install .NET SDK wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.2

If you are unable to locate the package: sudo dpkg --purge packages-microsoft-prod && sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.2

9.Install Node Canvas sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libjpeg-dev libgif-dev librsvg2-dev npm install canvas

10.Clone Repository and build cd git clone https://github.com/LeaPhant/flowabot.git

If you want PP command: cd git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ppy/osu-tools cd osu-tools/ sudo ./build.sh

11.Set Up Bot cd cd flowabot npm i npm run config Set up the bot how you would like, using your discord bot info and osu! API Key. Performance calculator dll should be located at: /home/**YOUR USER**/osu-tools/PerformanceCalculator/bin/Release/netcoreapp2.0/PerformanceCalculator.dll

12.Set Up Emojis Let bot join your server: https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=**YOUR-CLIENT-ID**&permissions=8&scope=bot Still within flowabot directory: npm run emojis The server index should be 0 if the bot is only on 1 server.

13.Start Bot npm start

If anything is not working then I will try to help, the guide is just written from memory so I may have forgotten something. File system is located at: C:\Users\**USER**\AppData\Local\Packages\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\LocalState\rootfs

Tried this and it went well until I tried to install canvas, got hit with some permission errors but adding --unsafe-perm=true at the end of sudo npm install canvas made it run. Then cloning gave a couple warnings about permissions, and npm i just doesn’t work (apparently an issue w/ npm intself)

Try sudo chown -R $(whoami) node_modules/ Then make sure other installations are correct with npm install -g node-gyp without sudo npm install canvas without sudo

When I run the command I get my user account as owner, not root. Hopefully setting the ownership to you will fix the permission error.
