ChatScript on Ubuntu:  First steps for complete noob
 
 

Download zip from http://sourceforge.net/projects/chatscript/files/latest/download

    - Extract to ~/ChatScript (remember to make new folder)

    - cd ~/ChatScript

    - chmod 777 Linux* 

    - ./LinuxChatScript64 & 

    (write down the PID listed after the command executes)

      [1]  -PID- 

    - ./LinuxChatScript64 client=localhost:1024

    then you should see “Enter client user name:”

    and you can converse. 

    ...

    Type cntrl-C when done.

    - If you didn’t write down the PID in step 4, find the PID for the server

    ps -ef | grep Linux

    PID is left most number of the top line </li>

    - Kill the server:  (or just log out and log back in)

    kill PID_of_server

Apologies if this is redundant or not the best method - The readme.txt required more understanding than I had after reading the words the first and second time.  Only after a read through of the server manual, and the windows client bat file, did this gel.

(I also tried to add this as a comment to the blog post at http://inspiredtoeducate.net/inspiredtoeducate/?p=795  but the server didn’t like comments )

Even better - (instead of starting a server and a client) - (and still ignoring that Dave told you to read “the manual”.  I just figured out “the manual” can first be /DOCUMENTATION/ChatScript Basic User Manual.pdf and from page 3 sort of, by inference:)


Download, Extract to ~/ChatScript
cd ~ChatScript
chmod 777 Linux*
./LinuxChatScript64 local

and experience a simple chatscript chatbot.
