Installation / Setup / Usage
This project is meant for Python 3.6. Please ensure that you have that installed and working, then come back here.
Prerequisites
You'll probably need to install a few packages and Python 3.6 first.
Linux:
python3.6 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev python3.6-devSetup
- Register your own discord bot for testing with.
- Navigate to the Discord API docs and log in: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me (if you log in for the first time, it'll probably take you to the app, so go back again).
- Click on the "New App" button
- Name your app. Click "Create App"
- Click "Create a Bot User" (Discord API supports a few types of apps/bots, but we are building a bot)
- Locate your bot's user token. Your user token must not be shared with anyone. If it is posted publicly, change it ASAP.
- Clone the repo using
git clone https://github.com/Chris-Johnston/CSSBot_Py.git - Create a new file in your CSSBot_Py directory:
config.ini- Populate the file with the following contents:
[Configuration] connection_token=XXXXXXXXXYOURTOKENGOESHEREXXXXXXX
Usage
Run the following command:
python3.6 main.pyThe first lines should read something like:
discordpy
1.0.0a
Logged in SomeUser - 1234567890
Version 1.0.0a
(for future consideration, considering looking into virtualenv, Docker, or just using a screen in the background to run the bot)
