# Home Front Command Notificator
## A bot to send Discord notifications for HFC alerts
### Created by GaMeNu and yrrad8
> **IMPORTANT:** This bot is unofficial! Please do not rely on it alone.
## What is this?
This is a bot that connects to the HFC's servers and sends real-time notifications about alerts in Israel.
### Setup
Invite the bot to a server, and /register a channel, and you're ready to go!
Alternatively, you can DM the bot to receive alerts directly to your DMs!
Please do note that the bot instance listed here is hosted on a private machine, and may be a bit slow.

### Requirements
#### Required PyPI packages (run each with `pip install`)
**Note:** On Windows you will have to write `python -m pip` instead of `pip` at the beginning of pip install commands
**Note:** as of 2023-10-23, discord.py seems to not install properly for Python 3.11 and above.
The fix we've found is to first install the beta version of package `aiohttp` separately (`aiohttp==3.9.0b0`).
Please use the requirements files (`pip install -r`):
Python 3.10 and below:
```
(python -m) pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Python 3.11 and above:
```
(python -m) pip install -r requirements-new-python.txt
```
#### Other requirements
MySQL Server: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
### .env format:
Replace the angled brackets with the matching data
```env
TOKEN = <Discord bot token>
AUTHOR_ID = <Your Discord user ID>
DB_USERNAME = <MySQL database username>
DB_PASSWORD = <MySQL database password>
```
note that the .env file must be in the same directory as main.py
