👨‍💻 Development

While for pre-built binaries we provide our own Telegram application credentials, for development purposes you will have to create your own Telegram application. You can do this here: https://my.telegram.org/

Then you will need to fill next environment variables:

• ASIMOV_TELEGRAM_API_ID
• ASIMOV_TELEGRAM_API_HASH

Make sure that OpenSSL & zlib are installed on your system.

On Windows you can install them with vcpkg:

vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows-static-md
vcpkg install zlib:x64-windows-static-md

On Linux you also need to install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install -y libc++-dev libc++abi-dev

Then finally you can start development:

git clone https://github.com/asimov-modules/asimov-telegram-module.git
