Forked from https://github.com/An-Idiots-Guide/guidebot.

• git command line (Windows|Linux|MacOS) installed
• node Version 8.0.0 or higher

You also need your bot's token. This is obtained by creating an application in the Developer section of discordapp.com. Check the first section of this page for more info.

In a command prompt in your projects folder (wherever that may be) run the following:

git clone https://github.com/An-Idiots-Guide/guidebot.git

Once finished:

• In the folder from where you ran the git command, run cd guidebot and then run npm install
• Edit config.js and fill in all the relevant details as indicated in the file's comments.
• Rename now-secrets.json.example to now-secrets.json and add your bots token. (Only used for local deploy)

• Add secret key with the command: now secret add bot-token TOKEN HERE
• If alias already exists, run: now else run: npm run alias

To start the bot, in the command prompt, run the following command: node index.js

To add the bot to your guild, you have to get an oauth link for it.

You can use this site to help you generate a full OAuth Link, which includes a calculator for the permissions: https://finitereality.github.io/permissions-calculator/?v=0
