Requirements

To install required packages for this project run the command: (This is only required when not installing through pip)

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

A general warning

This program is capable of retrieving conversation data from various social networks in order to provide more accurate replies to input text. Because of this, responces generated by the chat bot can contain insulting statements completely at random. I have plans to address this issue, however they are not yet implemented.

Notes

This program is not designed to be an open source version of CleverBot. Although this Chat Bot returns responces, the code here handles communication much differently then CleverBot does.
