8. Run the bot: python bot.py

To automatically start the bot when your system boots, you can create a systemd service. Here's how:

1. Create a new service file: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/your_bot.service

2. Add the following to the file:

   [Unit]
   Description=Your Bot Service
   After=network.target
   
   [Service]
   User=username
   WorkingDirectory=/path/to/your/project
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/python /path/to/your/project/bot.py
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

   Replace username with your username and /path/to/your/project with the actual path to your project folder.

3. Save the file and close the editor.

4. Start the service: sudo systemctl start your_bot.service

5. Enable the service to start on boot: sudo systemctl enable your_bot.service

To install and run the bot on a Windows operating system, follow these steps:

1. Install Python 3.x: Python Official Website
2. Clone the repository: git clone github.com/Saidalo1/power_met_bot
3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the project folder: cd [folder name]
4. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Create a virtual environment (venv): python -m venv venv
6. Activate the virtual environment: venv\Scripts\activate
7. Configure the .env file: Instructions below
8. Run the bot: python bot.py

To automatically start the bot when your system boots, you can create a batch script to activate the virtual environment and then launch the bot:

1. Create a new text file named start_bot.bat in the project folder.

2. Open the file with a text editor and add the following lines:

   @echo off
   cd /d [path to your project folder]
   call venv\Scripts\activate
   python bot.py

3. Save the file.

4. Press Win + R, type shell:startup, and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder.
