# František Kafka
|
|
|
|
František Kafka is a bot that generates text using Markov chains. It is online at [https://botsin.space/@frantisek](https://botsin.space/@frantisek) where it's creating an inifinite version of Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
You need your input text in plain text; [Project Gutenberg](https://www.gutenberg.org) is a good source for that. Make sure to remove all parts of the text that are not to be used as the Bot's corpus.<sup>1</sup>
|
|
You will also need an access token, so register your app at a mastodon instance of choice to get one. Copy the `.env.example` to `.env` and edit it to set up the environment correctly.
|
|
Building an running the Clojure code requires [leiningen](https://leiningen.org/) version 2.8 or above.
