# Fallback Chatbot

Fallback using any offline AIML2.0 chatbot

#### *fallback-chatbot.Fantailed*

### Description:

**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.
