1. Request your personal fishnet key: https://lichess.org/get-fishnet

2. Install the fishnet client.

   Via pip

   To install or upgrade to the latest version do:

   pip install --upgrade --user fishnet
   

   Example usage:

   python -m fishnet --auto-update
   

   Other useful commands:

   python -m fishnet configure  # Rerun the configuration dialog
   python -m fishnet systemd  # Generate a systemd service file
   python -m fishnet --help  # List all commands and options
   

   Via Docker

   There is a Docker container courtesy of @mklemenz. For example you can simply do:

   docker run mklemenz/fishnet --key MY_APIKEY --auto-update
   

fishnet is using lichess.org custom Stockfish by @ddugovic, @ianfab et al.

You can build Stockfish yourself (for example with ./build-stockfish.sh) and provide the path using python -m fishnet --stockfish-command. Otherwise a precompiled binary will be downloaded for you.
