Running Minebot

On this page, you'll learn how to start Minebot.

Tip

Before running Minebot, make sure you've completed the Installation Guide first!

1. Install Python

Tip

On some operating systems, you might need to type python instead of python3.

2. Navigate to Bot Folder

Open Terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows) and navigate to the folder where you extracted the bot files.

cd path/to/extracted/folder

3. Create a Virtual Environment

python3 -m venv venv

4. Activate the Virtual Environment

• Windows:

  venv\Scripts\activate

• macOS/Linux:

  source venv/bin/activate

5. Start the Bot

nox -s srv

Note: Optional: Install nox

If you're getting "Unknown command: nox" error, you need to install nox first:

pip install nox

The bot will take some time to download its dependencies and should be up and running.

Warning

You need to re-run steps 2, 4 and 5 from below each time you reboot your machine or close the terminal/console window.
