Created page with "=Setup= ==Install== Start by installing pywikibot. Recommended method is: * git checkout the pywikibot repo * python setup.py build * python setup.py install See Pywikibo..."

New page

=Setup=

==Install==

Start by installing pywikibot. Recommended method is:
* git checkout the pywikibot repo
* python setup.py build
* python setup.py install

See [[Pywikibot]].

==Configure Site==

To configure which site you want pywikibot to use, run the provided login script through the pwb.py script. From the pywikibot directory, run:

<pre>
python3 pwb.py login
</pre>

This will prompt you for a site URL, username, and password.

(Where do the credentials get stored???)

Once you log in, there will be a user-config.py file created. Copy this to whichever directory you wish to run pywikibot from.

This user-config.py file does not contain any sensitive information.

==Write/Run Scripts==

Once you have your user config file in your working directory, you can start your script like this:

<pre>
import pywikibot
s = pywikibot.Site()
</pre>

This will create a Site object corresponding to whichever site you have specified in your user-config.py file.
