First Run (Onboarding)

When no config.json exists, running the setup script launches an interactive wizard:

python3 scripts/setup.py

The wizard asks:

  1. 📺 Which sports? — Pick from Soccer, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, F1
  2. 🏆 Which teams? — Choose from popular teams or search for any team
  3. 🔔 Alert style? — Live scores, final only, or daily digest
  4. ⏰ Game-day reminders? — Get a heads-up 30 mins before kick-off
  5. 🌙 Quiet hours? — Pause alerts while you sleep

After setup, your config.json is ready and you can start tracking!

Re-run setup anytime:

python3 scripts/setup.py --force  # Overwrites existing config
