1. psql postgres -U YOUR_USERNAME
2. CREATE DATABASE superbestbot;
3. GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE superbestbot TO YOUR_USERNAME;
4. \connect superbestbot
5. CREATE TABLE hubot (id CHARACTER VARYING(1024) NOT NULL, storage TEXT, CONSTRAINT hubot_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id));
6. INSERT INTO hubot VALUES(1, NULL)
7. Make sure you update bin/hubot-local with the correct db url

Running locally

1. run bin/hubot-local -n superbestbot -l !

You'll see some start up output and a prompt.

superbestbot>

Then you can interact with SuperBestBot by typing superbestbot help (or just !help).

superbestbot> superbestbot help

Scripting

Take a look at the scripts in the ./scripts folder for examples. Delete any scripts you think are useless or boring. Add whatever functionality you want hubot to have. Read up on what you can do with hubot in the Scripting Guide.
