## Installation

### Automatic Package Installation - Recommended (Method 1)

Open the terminal and input:

####Note: If your Internet connection is slow, the NLTK package will take several hours to download and install. 
Have patience!

### Manual Package Installation (Method 2)

1) gtts

sudo pip install gTTS
```

2) mpg123
```bash
sudo apt-get install mpg123
```

3) NLTK package

## Post Package Installation

### Note:

I have nearly automated the complete installation. Few details remain. But until I update the code, the manual post package installation described below is recommended.

#### 1) Path setup:

After having downloaded all files, open EACH ONE and modify according to the instructions provided in the file.

For example, you may find:
```python
f_reminder = open("/path/to/the/file/reminder.txt", "r+")
```
Replace ```"/path/to/the/file"``` with the actual pathname to the file called ```"reminder.txt"```.

Thus, in my system, this particular pathname was:
```python
f_reminder = open("/media/suman/New Volume1/Artificial Intelligence/Personal Assistant/Text_files/reminder.txt", "r+")
```

This will ensure the Personal Assistant is customised only to you.

#### 2) Email:

This is particular for Gmail accounts.

To send emails and read emails, you will need access to your Gmail account. But Gmail will block your email if you don't get a password, as it doesn't recognise the application.

To obtain a password for Tzara, follow [these instructions.](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en)

Open ```check_email.sh``` in an editor.

Replace ```your_email_herr``` with your email-id. E.g. john@gmail.com

Replace ```your_password_here```  with the new password respectively. Note: the password is NOT your general email account password. It is specific to this application.

Replace ```/path/to/the/file/``` with the pathname to the file ```inbox_detail.txt```

Open the Terminal. Go to the directory containing the script ```check_email.sh```

Make the script executable:

```bash
chmod u+x check_email.sh
```

#### 3) Setting up .txt files:

You can modify the following .txt files to personalise Tzara further:

a) ```bye.txt``` - Add ways to say goodbye.

b) ```comn_sites.txt``` - Add sites you visit.

c) ```confirmations.txt``` - Add ways to confirm.

d) ```corporat.txt``` - List of corpora from where Tzara develops her sentences. Currently from Brown Corpus

e) ```email_id.txt``` - Add email-ids. E.g. john@gmail.com - Simply say: "Mail John", and Tzara will mail john@gmail.com

f) ```folder.txt``` - Add folder names and paths you frequently use. E.g. Suppose you go to ```/home/username/Documents``` often. Add ```Documents - /home/username/Documents``` to ```folder.txt```, and then you can simply tell Tzara: ```Open folder documents```, and she will open the correct folder.

g) ```greetings.txt``` - Add ways for Tzara to greet you.

## Deployment

1) Open the guake terminal.

2) Input the following code:
```bash
python /path/to/the/file/main.py
```
Replace ```/path/to/the/file``` with the pathname to the file ```main.py```. This file initialises Tzara.

Tzara will greet you with something like: ```Hi, my name is Tzara. How may I help you?```

Go on and chat with your newfound friend.

3) To give commands, simply chat. For example, if you want Tzara to search for the word "cat" on the Internet, simply type something like: ```Hey Tzara, could you please search for cat.``` or ```Hi, could you please google cat.``` or simply ```google cat```.

4) To end chat, type anything like:
```
Bye Tzara
```
or

```
Cya Tzara
```
or simply
```
bye
```
