Steps to set up the environment for running locally

You can run this bot locally by creating your own Google Custom Search Engine and test it with the same.

We assume that Python 3 and pip are installed and are accessible from path.
If not please install Python 3 and pip and then proceed to the steps below:

• Downlaod the repository to your local machine.
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt in the root directory of the repository.
• Get your Google API key and set it to the API_KEY environment variable.
• Create a Google Custom Search Engine and set the Custom Search Engine ID to the CSE_ID environment variable.
• Run python manage.py runserver to start the Django development server.
• Navigate to localhost:8000 and start chatting!

Note - If python is not linked to Python 3, runserver will throw an error.
