	Before you utilize this bot, you must first have the working program on your computer. There are two options when it comes to this regard: you can build the program yourself from source or you can download the executable file and simply click on it. Below you will find the executable files for Linux and Windows, as well as the source for both. There is no need to have an "installer" as it is a standalone application which has no external settings.		Before you utilize this bot, you must first have the working program on your computer.

			The bot can be found running in #armagetron.tourneys, all you have to do is show up and communicate with it! However, to communicate with the bot you must be added as an administrator of the bot. To do this, you need to PM me (Ratchet) on the arma forums using [http://forums3.armagetronad.net/ucp.php?i=pm&mode=compose&u=2523 this] link. I will add you to the bot's administrator list, and then you can follow the rest of these instructions. :)

For linux, my zip file may be more reliable than the GitHub code, and I strongly recommend using my version.
