Thanks to the beta team for helping/testing, congrats to all that participated Bebot since 2004.

Heya Mage and thanks for your interest in Bebot.

First gotta say i'm no Rasberry hardware expert, but from what i can see here https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/ its OS/software is debian-like so very common nux family of commands should work in it.

Therefore, you should be able to follow the usual Bebot install steps that are detailed in both :
- README of the official distro https://github.com/J-Soft/BeBot/#readme
- Installation page of the new wiki http://wiki.bebot.link/index.php/Installation
To sum this all up you'll have to :
- get PHP in a compatible version (anything from 5.4 upto 8.1 should work, yet we're preparing some patches for 8.2/3) to run bot code itself
- run a local SQL-like service (e.g. Mysql or Mariadb) in which your bot will store its long term memory/settings/etc and retrieve all its datas.

Now, hardware wise i think most Rasberry should be able to run it all :
- for CPU anything over 1 Ghz works (x64 best but x86 can work with old versions)
- OS itself should require like 500 Mo RAM + 850 Mo HD
- an SQL service should take from 50 Mo upto 150 Mo of RAM
- each PHP Bebot will need even less, say 10 Mo of RAM
- for hard disk SQL+PHP+Bebot will require respectively 200+100+50 Mo of HD
=> so count at least (to be comfortable) 1 Go of RAM + 1,5 Go of HD (or more)

Hope this all helps and covers your questions.

As an ITC teacher myself, though, i'd advice you do NOT front all aspects together at once immediately.
Follow a tutorial for each part based on upper README/wiki + some searchengine results first.
Once you think you're comfortable with each part, only, you may try to assemble them all to run your first bot and make it come to life (online !).

Also beware we provide some support via Discord. I'm giving you the link in private to avoid getting fishy spammers there (gotta filter them subscribing here already xD).

TC & TTYL !

Release 0.7.27 - Sep 2023
-------------------------
- For both: relay, count, mail & discord fixed ; raidhelp & raidtool/clear added
- For AO: raidloot, lc/hot/plant, defreezer, apf & raidhistory improved

This problem is often going with a notice of socket_write() issues around line 1044 in Sources/AoChat.php
It means the bot has been disconnected or wasn't able to fully connect.

You first have to make sure your bot can be logged in using regular game or chat client. Try to send some tells and receive some to verify all goes ok. Also take this occasion to verify that the friendlist ain't full otherwise give it a clean.

That once done, and specifically if your bot uses some proxy account(s), also make sure those accounts are also loggable. If they are not, they could be either banned (then you'd need to contact support) or simply frozen & that explains why you obtain EOF error.

Note that recent Bebot versions are capable of self-defreezing on logon as explained into README ... but if for whatever reason that didn't fully work, you might have to do it manually by logging into https://account.anarchy-online.com/ and then visit /uncancel_sub page to reactive (repeat for each account).

Once any involved account is loggable and fully capable, you endly should be able to fix that error and log your lovely bot.
