▶️ Build

You need .NET Core SDK 2.2+. Download it here

Also, you need a file server with SSL support. It used to send generated images. I use nginx for this, but you can try any other. For easy installation, you can use autoinstall script by @angristan from here. In addition, you can use config generator by @0xB4LINT.

1. Clone repository and open directory:

   git clone https://github.com/yet-another-devteam/SendColorBot.git && cd SendColorBot
   

2. Build the project. You can also use portable mode, which doesn't require .NET runtime. Learn more

   ...
   
   cd ./SendColorBot/bin/Release/netcoreapp2.2/publish
