This short tutorial is meant for end users of ChatOverflow and shows how to install and run the framework with all dependencies.
If you want to set up a build environment for developing plugins or to contribute to the framework,
head over to Build Environment.
For running Chatoverflow you will need Java 8, version 1.8.0_161
or newer.
You can download it here.
-
Head over to the releases tab and download the ChatOverflow
.zip
file from the assets section of the latest release. -
Extract the zip file. (It's clever to extract it in a folder called chatoverflow 😉)
-
If you are on Windows, execute
ChatOverflow.bat
. If you are on an UNIX operating system like MacOS or Linux executeChatOverflow.sh
. -
Wait for the launcher to download all dependencies. ⏳
-
The framework will start. Have fun using it! 😃
-
To start the framework again, just re-execute the script (
ChatOverflow.bat
orChatOverflow.sh
, depending on your system). Don't worry, it won't download the dependencies again.
