I'd love to use this product but my issue is how to start it up. Can someone explain me what I am supposed to do? Where do I unzip? Where do I run these commands?

Thank you for your interest in the Soluify Telegram Copy & Paste Bot! 😊

Let me guide you step-by-step through the process of setting up and running the bot. If you're new to working with command-line interfaces and Python, don’t worry—I’ll break this down as simple as possible.

Step-by-Step Guide to Get Started

1. Download and Unzip the Project

First, when you download the bot’s source code, it usually comes as a .zip file.

2. Install Python and Required Tools

If you don’t have Python installed yet:

3. Open a Terminal or Command Prompt

Now that you’ve unzipped the project and installed Python, you need to use a terminal or command prompt to navigate to the extracted folder and install dependencies.

4. Navigate to the Project Directory

Once you’ve opened the terminal or command prompt, you’ll need to navigate to the directory where you unzipped the soluify-telegram-copypaste-bot folder. In the terminal, use the cd (change directory) command:

5. Install Required Dependencies

With your terminal now set to the project directory, let’s install the necessary Python libraries that the bot depends on.

Run the following command to install them:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Running the Bot

After installing the dependencies, you’re ready to run the bot!

Run this command in your terminal:

   python SoluifyCopier.py

This should start up the bot, and you will be prompted for your Telegram API credentials. Here’s what to do next:

7. Setting Up Forwarding

Let me guide you step-by-step through the process of setting up and running the bot. If you're new to working with command-line interfaces and Python, don’t worry—I’ll break this down as simple as possible. Step-by-Step Guide to Get Started 1. Download and Unzip the Project

First, when you download the bot’s source code, it usually comes as a .zip file.

-

Unzipping the File:

  • If you’re on Windows: Right-click on the .zip file and select Extract Here or Extract All.
    • If you’re on macOS or Linux, just double-click the zipped file to extract it.

  • Note: After extracting, you should have a folder containing all the necessary files. The name of the folder will be soluify-telegram-copypaste-bot.

  1. Install Python and Required Tools

If you don’t have Python installed yet:

-

Windows: Download Python from here https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ and follow the installation steps. Make sure to check the option Add Python to PATH during installation!

macOS/Linux: You can install Python via brew or your package manager, or download it directly from Python's official site https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Verify Python: After installation, open your terminal or command prompt, and run:

python --version

If this shows Python 3.7 or higher, you’re ready to go!

  1. Open a Terminal or Command Prompt

Now that you’ve unzipped the project and installed Python, you need to use a terminal or command prompt to navigate to the extracted folder and install dependencies.

  • Windows:
    • Open Command Prompt by searching for "cmd" in your start menu.
  • macOS:
    • Open Terminal (you can find it in Applications > Utilities or by using Spotlight).
  • Linux:
    • You can open a terminal using Ctrl + Alt + T.
  1. Navigate to the Project Directory

Once you’ve opened the terminal or command prompt, you’ll need to navigate to the directory where you unzipped the soluify-telegram-copypaste-bot folder. In the terminal, use the cd (change directory) command:

-

For Windows:

cd path\to\your\unzip\folder

Example:

cd C:\Users\YourUserName\Downloads\soluify-telegram-copypaste-bot

-

For macOS/Linux:

cd /path/to/your/unzip/folder

Example:

cd /Users/YourUserName/Downloads/soluify-telegram-copypaste-bot

Make sure you’re inside the directory where the bot's files (e.g., SoluifyCopier.py, requirements.txt, etc.) are.

  1. Install Required Dependencies

With your terminal now set to the project directory, let’s install the necessary Python libraries that the bot depends on.

Run the following command to install them:

pip install -r requirements.txt

  • Explanation: This command uses pip (Python’s package installer) to install everything listed in the requirements.txt file, which includes libraries like Telethon https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon.
  1. Running the Bot

After installing the dependencies, you’re ready to run the bot!

Run this command in your terminal:

python SoluifyCopier.py

This should start up the bot, and you will be prompted for your Telegram API credentials. Here’s what to do next:

  • Add API ID & Hash: If you don’t already have these, get them from your Telegram account https://my.telegram.org/apps. You’ll need to log in with your Telegram phone number, then create a new application to get an API ID and API Hash.
  • Log in to Telegram: You’ll enter your phone number (make sure to include your country code, e.g. 447123456789) and wait for Telegram to send you a verification code. Enter this code in the terminal.
  1. Setting Up Forwarding

Once you’re logged in, you will be presented with a menu of options. You can select from:

  • (1) List My Chat IDs: To view and select the chats to monitor.
  • (2) Set Up Message Forwarding: Specify the chats to forward messages from and to, plus set keywords, signatures, and blacklists.
  • (3) Edit Profile: Manage existing profiles.
  • (4) Help: Reference for additional help.
  • (5) Exit: Safely leave the bot.

The bot will then continuously monitor the selected chats and forward messages based on your input!

Troubleshooting if Something Goes Wrong:

  • If it doesn’t run, check if Python is installed correctly (python --version).

  • If any dependency fails to install, make sure pip is up to date. You can update pip by running:

    pip install --upgrade pip

  • If you’re getting errors related to credentials, ensure that your API ID and API Hash are correct.

I hope this guide helps you get the bot up and running smoothly! 😄 If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask for more help—I’m here to assist.

Woahai321 commented 5 days ago

Password fields are masked, you are inputting the data it's just not showing on the screen.

Paste or type and press enter once complete and it will enter.

lion2131 commented 5 days ago

please take a look; I used the virtual keyboard to show; I cannot complete the inputs; only phone accepts digts

Woahai321 commented 5 days ago

Please review my last comment, you are inputting data just for security it doesn't show in the preview

lion2131 commented 5 days ago

worked out the next step then got this error.. sorry bothering you!

Imagine it says that API are wrong but I CTRL V.. image

Woahai321 commented 5 days ago

Not a problem. Instead of control v, try right clicking then enter as you are on windows. When you right click it won't give you the option to paste it just will paste.

I would personally recommend configuring a very small Ubuntu VM and run this on there to separate this from your system and help us identify any issues. https://www.debugpoint.com/install-ubuntu-windows-virtualbox/

lion2131 commented 4 days ago

I try- different question: is the bot able to forward also from private channels with restrictions?

Woahai321 commented 4 days ago

So long as your user account has read access to the channel you should be fine

lion2131 commented 4 days ago

any chance you connect via anydesk and fix.. I pay the disturb. The issue is still the credential not accepted in my view.
