requires node (probably 0.12)

pull repo

add auth.json: email/password, youtube API key, username/password for imgflip (example provided)

npm install

node discord_bot.js

Some of the dependencies we use require a C compiler and Python, so you will need to have those in your path to run npm install successfully. This is mostly a problem for Windows users.

1. google and download "node.js msi download"

2. go through the installer, this tutorial might help http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-windows

3. once installed download this project as a zip from github

4. unpack and navigate to the project on your PC

5. create a file "auth.json" exactly like the auth.json.example that is provided. Replace the information in there with your own. You can even use your own credentials, itll respond from your name. Or create a new account and add it to your server. The new file should be placed right along side everythign else.

6. Open cmd prompt (hit windows + q and type in cmd). Test that node works, npm -v and node -v should return something.

7. Navigate to wherever you extracted the project with cd. "cd C:\Users\Alex\Downloads\DiscordBot"

8. Download requirements with "npm install"

• it seems a lot of people have problems with this step, please follow this guide: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21365714/nodejs-error-installing-with-npm

3. Click "Advanced Options" and then type ImageObject.

4. Hit create.

5. On this new page, enable the Image Search in the menu.

6. Then press "Search engine ID" under the Details header.
