I shall not collect user's content or information, or otherwise access Facebook, using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without user's prior permission.

Run

To use the script to full extent, make sure that you keep it at the home directory. Run it like this :

python ~/main.py

Screenshot

Enter your facebook username and password when prompted.

Alternatively, you can automate authentication. Create settings.txt file in repo's folder, and write email and password there in following format:

[main]
email = addresswithoutquotes@gmail.com
password = passwordwithoutquotes

Wait till it sets up. To make sure that it has setup, your url should be 'https://facebook.com/messages/*your own username*.

To send the commands, search for your own name on the messenger and send commands to it.

While using the set ... as ... command, you can create a file named commands.txt and write the Alias name in the following format (seperated by single space):

Alias_command_without_quotes  actual_command_without_quotes

The file has been included in the repo, which has some useful commands for Mac.
