* The correct version of [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) for the Python 3 plugin. (You cannot use newer versions.)

- Hexchat 2.10.2 required Python **3.4.x**

- Hexchat 2.12 requires Python **3.5.x**

1. Save `alerts.py` to your Hexchat addons directory. On Windows, this is located at `%appdata%\HexChat\addons`. On Linux and OSX, this is probably `./config/hexchat/addons`

2. Ensure the correctPython plugin is enabled in Hexchat. You can check with `/py about`.
