Started out as a side project for a discord server, but I have since decided to opensource it for others to use. This project will likely not see any more updates as I look for other (more enjoyable) things to do instead.
- NodeJS and npm
- MongoDB set up and running (See this if you don't know how)
- A decent enough server (I can run this fine on a 2GB Digitalocean droplet with 50GB storage)
-
- Clone the repository to your directory of choice on your server. (It will create its own folder so keep this in mind)
git clone https://github.com/dev-sda1/DiscBot.gitThis shouldn't take long to copy over if your provider's bandwidth is good enough
- Clone the repository to your directory of choice on your server. (It will create its own folder so keep this in mind)
-

-
- Navigate to the root of the folder and run
npm install && npm bot
- Navigate to the root of the folder and run
-
- Check that your bot is online in the server!
