> A demonstration XMPP bot to show how easy it is to write one :D


Written for a [blog post](#coming-soon!).

## Getting Started

### In Visual Studio / MonoDevelop / etc.
Open the `.sln` file in Visual Studio and hit the _start_ button. It should automatically download and install the dependencies from NuGet. You may need to accept some license agreements.

### In the terminal / command line
Navigate to root of this repository in your terminal or command line (if on Windows, ensure it's a _Visual Studio Developer Tools Prompt_ or the like), and run `msbuild`:

```bash
msbuild
```

Once done, the output binary should be located in `TextRecogniserDemo/bin/Debug`. Navigate to that directory and run it:

```bash
# On Linux:
mono ./XmppBotDemo.exe
# On Windows:
XmppBotDemo.exe
```
