Running Locally

Running your own instance

This file contains instruction for running your own instance of the bot.

Environment

Python Version

Discord-Dice-Bot is written for Python 3.5.

Some minor changes can be made to make it 3.4-compatible.

Packages

The only packages that you need to install to run this is discord.py and its dependencies, listed in requirements.txt.

discord.py is available via PyPI and can be installed using pip install discord.py or an equivalent command.

To change this script to work with Python 3.4, replace async def with @asyncio.corouting and await with yield from.

Running the bot

This bot is currently designed to be run directly from dice_bot.py almost as provided. There is however, one change that you will need to make to the last last line of the script. Before you can use this you must supply a valid Discord login and password or bot token to a call to bot.run as follows:

bot.run(account_email, password)

or

bot.run(bot_token)

You and the bot cannot send messages at the same time on the same account, so you must have at least two separate Discord accounts available to you to use this properly.
