 ## Installation
 To make this bot run at first you need to have a Python interpreter and git. Google is your friend finding it. You can also ignore git and simply download source code, should also work fine. After that you're ready to go.

+> If it's non-standart executable path - you should also change
+> it in scripts you will use (`loop.sh`, `loop.bat`, `start.sh` and `start.bat`).

     Of course bot cannot post something from nothing. Configure your `config.json` what media types bot should post (`"posting", "extensions"`), when to post them (`"posting", "time"`) and also where to find them (`"locations"`). You can also move them when sent by setting `"posting", "move_sent"` to `true`.
 
 6. Good to go, run it!

+    Or you can also use `.\start.bat` on Windows and `bash ./start.sh` on Linux.  
+    Additionally there are `loop.sh` and `loop.bat` available if you want your bot to start again after being stopped or after using `/reboot` command.
 
 ## Command line arguments
