<Mackerel> Hi. I'm completely new to IRC bots. I think I have everything else under control but can you tell me how to run this bot
<Mackerel> Is it some compile meme or does it run from some whack CMD command
<Chew> ruby isnt a compiled language
<Chew> just make the code, and run it
<Mackerel> >run
<Mackerel> how
<Mackerel> There's no exe
<Chew> windows right?
<Mackerel> yes
<Chew> have you written a bot file
<Mackerel> is cinch not the entire bot
<Chew> it's the framework for the bot, yes
<Chew> do you have ruby installed
<Mackerel> I do
<Chew> well, you do need to write the commands and whatnot
<Mackerel> I shouldn't have expected this to be easy with no coding experience
<Mackerel> Whatever
<Chew> well here's a simple hello world application from the readme
<Mackerel> is that gonna help throw this bot into a channel
<Chew> yes, it's going to make a new bot in #cinch-bots
<Chew> just make a file named bot.rb, put that stuff in there, and it should be able to double clcik to run
<Mackerel> Run bot.rb?
<Chew> yeah
<Mackerel> That's all you had to say boss
<Chew> save=as somewhere
<Chew> xD
<Mackerel> I can just reinstall cinch through rubygems and do that in 5 seconds
<Chew> well go for it

<Mackerel> Chew, in configuration there's a bot.rb, should I just make the bot.rb in the native cinch folder?
<Chew> probably not, just put it in a folder on the desktop somewhere
<Chew> "IRC Bot"
<Mackerel> YES
<Mackerel> CHEW YOU'RE 10/10
<Mackerel> So this is what they mean by framework
<Mackerel> I've been moaning and groaning about doing this for 5 months and I did it in less than 30 minutes
