 To run the chatbot, you will need to provide an OAuth access token with the chat_login scope.  You can reference an authentication sample to accomplish this, or simply use the [Twitch Chat OAuth Password Generator](http://twitchapps.com/tmi/).
 
 ```sh
-$ python chatbot.py <username> <client id> <token> <channel>
+$ python3 chatbot.py <username> <client id> <token> <channel>
 ```
 * Username - The username of the chatbot
 * Client ID - Your registered application's Client ID to allow API calls by the bot
