Fallback using any offline AIML2.0 chatbot
WARNING: Do NOT install this skill if you aren't at least somewhat familiar with linux as it WILL break your Picroft installation!!! Because of the mere size of Program-Y, there are a few incompatibilities and installation difficulties that have to be manually resolved. Please read the whole description before proceeding.
This skill makes use of the offline Python AIML2.0 interpreter Program-Y.
At the moment, it only supports my own stupid bot called BakaBot, but adding your own bots will be supported very soon.
Some dependencies of Program-Y have to be installed with a pip version prior to 10. If the automatic installation of dependencies doesn't work, try downgrading to pip 9.0.3 first:
pip install pip==9.0.3.
Then, install Program-Y manually using pip install programy.
This will break Mycroft in its current state as one of the dependencies requires websocket-client>=0.35.0 to work. As a result, pip will update websocket-client to a version that Mycroft in turn does not support anymore. Downgrade to 0.35.0 and you should be fine:
pip install websocket-client==0.35.0
If the lxml install fails, do the following:
sudo apt install -y libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev python3-pip
sudo pip3 install lxml
Note that the installation of lxml can be very slow on low RAM devices like the Raspberry Pi (I am talking in the order of 10min+!). If you
ever doubt that it's even doing anything, open another terminal and run htop on it.
