It is written in go. If this is your first time working with go, you need to setup $GOPATH similar to this:

export GOPATH=~/.go
mkdir $GOPATH
go get github.com/o3ma/o3rest
go get github.com/o3ma/o3

Build and run with go run simple-bot.go.

It will create an threema ID file on first run which will be saved to threema.id. I suggest add this to your backup and do not publish it.

The addressbook of the people that communicate with your bot will be saved to address.book if you kill the bot.

All incoming text messages will be passed on to a binary utfe.bot, and the output will be sent back to the originator.

This utfe.bot binary/script is not part of this repo and can be written in any language. Use your own imagination, or refer to utfe

On startup, the bot prints the string necessary to create the QR code used for authentication in the threema mobile app.

To create the QR code you can use:

[qrencode](https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/) -t ANSI 3mid:....
