Hubot is a popular and versatile bot framework built with Node.js. It allows you to automate repetitive tasks, integrate with various services, and respond to your team's needs efficiently.
In this tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step on how to set up and install Hubot on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Prerequisites Before you start, ensure that you have these prerequisites installed in your system:
Step 1 - Install Node.js You can install Node.js using the following command in your terminal:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nodejs
To verify the installation, run the node -v command, which should output the installed version of Node.js.
Step 2 - Install Git client To install Git client, use the following command in your terminal:
$ sudo apt install git
Step 3 - Setup Hubot
$ mkdir hubot
$ cd hubot
$ npx yo hubot
npx is installed with Node.js automatically and it runs the Hubot generator tool.
Follow the prompts to configure your Hubot installation. You'll be asked for your bot's name, description, adapter, and other details. Select the options according to your needs and preferences.
Once the generation is complete, you'll have a new Hubot installation in your directory.
Step 4 - Start Hubot To start Hubot, use the following command in your terminal:
$ ./bin/hubot
Your Hubot instance will start, and you'll see a message indicating that it's connected to the adapter you selected.
Step 5 - Add Scripts Hubot has a vast collection of community-contributed scripts available on NPM. You can install scripts for Hubot by running the following command:
$ npm install hubot-scriptname --save
Replace scriptname with the name of the script you want to install.
Once installed, the new script will be added to the external-scripts.json file. You can modify this file manually to remove or add new scripts.
Conclusion That's it! You should now have a working Hubot installation on your Ubuntu Server Latest system. You can customize it, add more functionality, and make it more intelligent by adding more scripts and integrations. Happy botting!
