How do I run my own instance of the bot?

First, create a new bot user by heading over to https://discord.com/developers/ and signing in with your Discord account. Create a new application, give it a name, and then click on "Bot" on the left side of the panel.

Then, give the bot a name and click the "copy" button under Token. This is your API token, and will be used later in the bot configuration. Never reveal your API token to anyone!

Note: Server Members Intent must be checked for activity logs to function properly.

Fill in the required fields. DATABASE, DB_URL, DB_USER, and DB_PASS are only required if you are using a MySQL Database.
