Soon we will have a Project set up inside this repo where you can look at our roadmap and find tasks to work on.
- Install Node.js.
- Create a Discord server to use as a sandbox. This is where your development bot will live.
- Go to the Discord Developer Portal and create a new bot. Invite this bot to your new server (it will be offline for now). Save the bot token for the next step.
- Clone this repo
- In the cloned repo, copy
.env.exampleto.envand fill in the following secrets:BOT_PREFIX= A prefix of your choice, e.g.!DISCORD_API_TOKEN= Your Discord bot token from the previous step- Fill in any other API tokens necessary for what you're working on (e.g. a Reddit token if you're working on Reddit commands)
- Run
npm installin this directory - Run
npm run dev - You should now see your bot online and ready to accept commands! Try sending it the "ping" command (your prefix +
ping), and it should reply with "Pong".
