STOP USING VIBER! - Simplify your life with Telegram bots!

What is a userbot and how is it different from other bots?

Unlike normal Telegram bots userbot can read messages you send and receive. Meaning userbot can respond to a text automatically. Think of it like the Telegram app with some stuff automated, You log in with your phone number and enter provided OTP just like how you would log in to Telegram app.

Requirements

python 3.7 or higher
pip for Python 3.7 or higher
npm
carbon-now-cli
mongodb
screen

Downloading and Installing Softwares

If you already have some Linux knowledge and a Linux box I assume you won’t need these.. Just make sure you have the requirements installed and skip to this step
Even though we could use windows for this, I will be using the Windows-Linux subsystem for this guide.

Bash

Get Ubuntu on Microsoft Store
After installation, enable from “Turn Windows Features on or off” from the control panel and restart your computer.
Launch Ubuntu CLI and setup your UNIX account. username and password can be anything you want
Run sudo apt update to update your repositories

python Setup

Ubuntu comes with Python2.7 and Python3.6 pre-installed. But we need 3.7 or higher for this bot to work

Install Python3.8 by running sudo apt install python3.8-minimal
Confirm installation by python3.8 --version

pip

Run sudo apt install python3-pip
to install pip3 but since Ubuntu have Python3.6 Pre-installed the pip installation will be pip 9.0.1 from python 3.6, We need to upgrade this.
Download get-pip and run it in python3.8
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
sudo python3.8 get-pip.py
Confirm installation by pip --version

MongoDB

MongoDB do not officially support WSL However, you can get it working with the following steps.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5
This will import the MongoDB public GPG Key so we can use the official MongoDB supported pkg in apt
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list
This will add the .deb to your sources list.
Run sudo apt-get update to update your repositories.
Run the install command by pasting this into the terminal sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

npm

Run sudo apt install npm

carbon now

sudo npm install -g carbon-now-cli --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Userbot Clone

run git clone https://github.com/athphane/userbot.git to download bot scripts.

Userbot Requiments

run sudo pip install -r userbot/requirements.txt

Setting up Telegram app development API

As I said earlier the bot is like a Telegram app. You need to get app API ID and app API hash from Telegram to make an app

Go to my.telegram.org and login with your account
Select API development tools and fill the form.
App title, Short Name, URL can be anything you want, Under Platform Select Other.
keep a note of this, it will be required when configuring userbot

Configuring

MongoDB - Config

Database Directory

MongoDB needs a folder to store database and it has to be a folder called “db” inside a folder called “data”.

Make a new folder called “data” by typing mkdir data
Change your working directory to that folder by cd data
Make a new folder called “db” by typing mkdir db
Go to previous directory by typing cd ..
Now you need to run mongodb in the directory you can do this with a new terminal window or using screen command.
open up a screen with the name mongodb by running sudo screen -S mongodb
Run mongodb in this screen mongod --dbpath ~/data/db
Deattach from this screen by pressing CTRL+A D

DB name, username, password

While running MongoDB in 1 screen.

Enter MonogoDB shell by entering mongo
use admin to switch to admin db
Copy-paste this to MongoDB console and press Enter

db.createUser(
  {
    user: "teleuser",
    pwd: "teleuser",
    roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "userbot" } ]
  }
)

user: and pwd: can be anything you want if you using something else, keep a note of it, it will be required when configuring userbot
5. Exit out of the mongo shell exit

Userbot - Config

Change working directory to the folder userbot is cloned to cd userbot
when you ls you will see a filed called “userbot.ini.sample” and “file_ids.txt” need to edit “file_ids.txt” remove everything in this file and replace with {}
echo {} > file_ids.txt
This will replace the content in “file_ids.txt” with {}
Rename “userbot.ini.sample” to “userbot.ini”
mv userbot.ini.sample userbot.ini
nano userbot.ini add the following text

Fill it accordingly
