Run the Bots on Linux

Run the bots on a Linux VPS - thanks Ingo 😊

Use a cheaper Linux VPS

Why?

Linux VPS or cheaper than windows VPS, hence it is a good choice to use a Linux VPS for running bots 24/7. If you are new to see, watch one or two Youtube tutorials and you are good to go and you have a cheaper solution.

Requirements

1. wine

2. optional: tmux

1 Install wine to run windows applications on linux

>>> lscpu

1.2 a) Install wine from repository depending on architecture

>>> sudo apt install wine64

or

>>> sudo apt install wine32

Check wine version:

>>> wine --version

1.2 b) Install wine from WineHQ repository

WineHQ signing key:

>>> cd /tmp
