🚀 How to Run the Bot

1. Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or newer.
• A Telegram account.
• A Telegram Bot Token. You can get one from @BotFather on Telegram.

2. Installation

1. Download the Code Copy the telegram_bot_2025.py file to your local directory.

2. Install Dependencies Open a terminal or command prompt in the project directory and run the following command:

   pip install "python-telegram-bot[ext]" aiosqlite

3. Configuration

1. Set Your Bot Token The most recommended way is to use an environment variable.

   • On Linux/macOS:

     export TELEGRAM_TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

   • On Windows (CMD):

     set TELEGRAM_TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

   • On Windows (PowerShell):

     $env:TELEGRAM_TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

   Alternative (not recommended for production): You can directly change the following line of code in the .py file:

   token = os.getenv("TELEGRAM_TOKEN", "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE")

4. Run the Bot

After all dependencies are installed and the token is set, run the bot with the command:

python your_bot_file.py

Your bot is now active and ready to receive messages on Telegram!
