How to create an Lichess BOT

There might've been a few of you out there that wants to create, own, and play as a BOT.
Here's a link to GitHub [a place for programmers] that shows how to create a lichess bot: github.com/careless25/lichess-bot

NOTE: If you use Ubuntu and you need extra help, direct message me [@Omega-3] or @LeelaChess. After all, careless25, or LeelaChess, is an excellent, experienced programmer and is the very first BOT on lichess.
Yes, you can PM me directly if you need help. I will try to get to your questions about setting up a BOT asap (48 hours or so)
If you need extra bot setup help, the Lichess Discord server has a "lichess-bots" channel that is (usually) pretty helpful. I think this invite still works: discordapp.com/invite/hy5jqSs

Also, no need to be using "Ubuntu" specifically. Setting up a Lichess bot on Windows or Mac is also quite easy, although Windows is not built to be running 24/7 and would need periodic reboots.

Lastly, I think it'd be a good idea to provide the Lichess Bot API as a simple executable rather than a Python script (mainly to make it look less intimidating :P) but that would also make it be possible to be imitated as and have some random people try to infect people with viruses.
Actually... I did just freeze a Windows executable, but it's my own fork and probably full of bugs and instabilities so use at your own risk. However, I can assure you that I did not purposely put anything to harm your computer so if there are any issues, I apologize in advance :). It can be found here: github.com/steven-xia/lichess-bot/releases/tag/1.2.1
@Stock_nemo sorry! There's actually a lot of messages this account gets. Sometimes i miss some.

@JeffIO I don't know how to make a windows executable but if you can guide me on how to do it, I can put it up on the official repo.
