curl -o install.sh -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LittleMengBot/submissionBot/main/bin/install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

• Please reserve at least 1GB of hard disk space and at least 512MB of free memory for a fresh system.
• This script will automatically configure the runtime environment and start the bot to test if the bot has any issues. If everything goes well, please press Ctrl+C to exit the script and run:

service [the service name you set in the script] start

Configuration file

Note: The configuration file is stored in the same directory as the jar package and named config.properties:

cp config.properties.example config.properties
vim config.properties

admin=1234567890
channel=@durov
group=-1001011111111

Field Description:
