Paste your Bot Token and Genius API Token into .env.example and rename it to just .env, then start bot by:

python main.py

Systemd

Replace '.example' from genius-bot.service.example so it's just genius-bot.service. Then just copy service file to /etc/systemd/system/

sudo systemctl start genius-bot.service

TODO

1. Make endless inline-menu, because now it's limited and only displays 5 songs.
2. Solve problem with Genius API 403 error on VPS/VDS servers
