==Known Issues== Occasionally, when setting your bot up to operate on a Linux machine you will get an error like the one to the side. [[File:ErrorMessage01.png|150px|right]] This error is very simple to fix. Simply open the '''version.py''' file located inside of the pywikibot folder. '''The pywikibot folder is located inside your Pywikipedia folder.''' Once you have this file opened you can search for "WindowsError", there should only be one occurence. Simply replace this with "OSError" and save the file. This should allow you to run your scripts like normal. [[Category:Installation]] [[Category:Linux]]
