The developers of BBot have gone to great lengths to make BBot easy to install. This includes having a PPA, Bazaar repository, and a git repository. Although installation is easiest on Linux (particularly Debian based distributions like Ubuntu), it can be installed on Windows as well.

There are a wide variety of options for installing on Linux, please choose the method which works the best for you.
If you are using a Debian based Linux, you can use the BBot PPA (Personal Package Archive). Using the PPA will allow for easy installation via the package manager of your choosing as well as updates through them as well. Instructions for setting up the PPA can be found on that page as well.
Although setup is easiest on Debian based distributions, or distributions which use the apt package manager, there are other ways to install BBot and keep it up to date.
A Git repository is maintained on GitHub which contains the latest stable code for easy cloning. To clone the latest code, please run:
git clone https://github.com/aj00200/BBot.git
To run this, you will need the git-core package installed.
The latest stable code can always be found in the stable branch on Launchpad. This branch can be cloned with the following command:
bzr branch lp:bbottheircbot/git-master
This will require that you have Bazaar installed.
If you can get it to work on a Mac, ext, please post install instructions here if you can.
