How To Use:

STEP 1 (Installing Python): Install Anaconda Python 3.7 Version

When prompted during the install to check two boxes to add Anaconda to the PATH variable and to make Anaconda the default Python installation, make sure both of those boxes are checked.

STEP 2 (Installing the ChromeDriver): Once Anaconda is installed find your Anaconda3 folder. It should be located at C:\Users\\Anaconda3 if you chose the default install location.

From this folder drag the chromedriver.exe file into that folder.

Also if you don't for some reason have chrome installed, install google chrome.

STEP 3 (Setting Up the Viewbot Settings): This part might be a litte tricky. Figure out what search on YouTube brings your video up as the first option. Make note of that exact search.

You are going to go into the config.txt file then and edit the parameters how you want them.

search_string: This is the search that gets your video as the number one result

min_watch: This is the minimum amount of time in seconds that the bot could spend watching the video

max_watch: This is the maximum amount of time in seconds that the bot could spend watching the video

wait_after: This is the amount of time in seconds that the bot will wait to watch the video again. If you don't want to wait between views, you can make this value None.

views: This is the amount of views that you want the bot to attempt to gain.

multicore: If you don't want to use your computer for anything else besides running the bot, set this to True. If this is True it will utilze most of your CPU cores to view the video

STEP 4 (Running the Bot): First take note of the location of the folder that you extracted. Then start up a command prompt. Look at the full path that the folder is in. I.e. C:\Users\\Desktop\Youtube-View-Bot. From the command prompt navigate to this folder.

I.e. if you command prompt says C:\Users\ >, then you want to type in 'cd Desktop\Youtube-View-Bot' followed by enter.

Once your command prompt is in the Youtube-View-Bot folder you want to type in 'pip install -r requirements.txt' followed by enter. You only need to run this step the very first time.

Once that command is complete you'll want to type in 'python viewbot.py' followed by enter.
