Setup & self-hosting info

Prerequisites

• git (optional) - download here
• Node.js (version 8 or higher*) - download here

Creating a bot account

1. Head to https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/.
2. Hit "Create an application".
3. Go to the "Bot" page, and click "Add bot".

Adding the bot to your server

1. Use a Discord bot permissions calculator, such as this one. Choose the permissions you'd like the bot to have.
2. Copy and paste your bot's client ID into the permissions calculator (the client ID can be found on the Discord bot application page), and click "Add". You can use the link you'll be sent to as your bot's invite link, if you'd like to share it with others.

Downloading and installing the bot

1. Click the Clone or download button on this page, and select "Download ZIP", and unzip the files once downloaded. Alternatively, you can clone the repository using git.
2. Open the "config.js.example" file in any text editor (e.g. Visual Studio Code, Atom, Notepad++ or Notepad), and replace TOKEN-HERE with your bot's token from the Discord bot application page, and replace PREFIX-HERE with your desired command prefix for the bot. Do not change anything else in this file.
3. Rename the file to config.js.
4. Open a terminal window in the directory the (unzipped) bot files are in (e.g. Command Prompt/PowerShell on Windows, Terminal on macOS, etc).
5. Run npm install --production. If you'd like to work on developing this bot, you should just run npm install.

Starting and stopping the bot

1. Once everything has been installed, run npm start or node index.js (both do the same thing) to start the bot.
2. To stop the bot, press Ctrl + C in the terminal session.
