Installation

1. Run npm install in this directory.
2. Create an app at https://discord.com/developers/applications. Optionally, give your app and bot (left panel) a cool name, profile picture, description, etc.
3. In the Bot page, click "reset token" to get your bot token. Do not share this with anybody.
4. In the OAuth2 page, copy your client ID.
5. Also in the OAuth2 page, select applications.commands and bot under OAuth2 URL Generator and use the generated URL to add your bot to a server.
6. Create a file called config.json in this directory and add the following info:

   {
   "token": "[your bot token]",
   "clientId": "[your client ID]"
   }

7. Run the file global-deploy-commands.js in this directory.
8. Run the file bot.js in this directory to start the bot. It may take up to an hour for your commands to be deployed (that's on Discord's side, not ours).

Faster deployment (per-server)

Testing edits to the bot or just impatient? You can also deploy commands per-server.

1. Enable Discord developer mode if you haven't already, then right click your desired server's name or icon and click "Copy Server ID".
2. Put this ID in config.json as follows:

   {
   "token": "[your bot token]",
   "clientId": "[your client ID]",
   "guildId": "[your server ID]"
   }

3. If you previously ran global-deploy-commands.js, run delete-all-commands.js to remove duplicate versions of the bot's commands.
4. Run guild-deploy-commands.js and start the bot.
