Create a bot

Create a Revolt bot on the desktop app by going to User Settings > My Bots > Create a Bot. Give it a name and copy the token of the bot. Add this bot to a group/server for it to work in. Replace "enter your token" in the following steps with the token of this bot.

Linux

Use a shell of your choice and do the following:

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/afk-echo/linkfix-oss-revolt.git
cd linkfix-oss-revolt
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install revolt.py

2. Activate the environment and run main.py:

Windows (untested)

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/afk-echo/linkfix-oss-revolt.git
cd linkfix-oss-revolt
python -m venv .venv

Issues

When installing revolt.py using pip, you may face issues installing aiohttp if you are on a newer version of Python (this issue is known to occur on Python 3.13.3 and above). To mitigate this issue, you may choose to clone the revolt.py repository yourself and install revolt.py from source manually. To do this, run the following:

git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/revolt.py.git
cd revolt.py
pip install .

You can now try to activate the environment and run main.py as per the instructions for your particular operating system.
