Instructions

Step 1: Download Node.js and create a Discord account.

• Node.js is required for running your bot. Download and install it from nodejs.org.
• Create a Discord account and server to test your bot.

Step 2: Create a Discord application for your bot.

• Go to discordapp.com/developers/applications/me and log in.
• Click "New Application" and give your bot a name.
• In the right-hand menu, click "Bot" and then "Add Bot."
• Obtain the bot's authorization token by clicking "Click to Reveal" under "Token:"

Step 3: Protect your bot's token and get your Client ID.

• Keep the bot's authorization token secret as it controls your bot's actions.
• Copy your Client ID from the "App Details" section.

Step 4: Invite your bot to your server.

• Use your Client ID to create an invite URL: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=CLIENTID&scope=bot&permissions=8 (replacing CLIENTID in the URL with the Client ID obtained in Step 3.)

Step 5 Replace YOUR_BOTS_AUTH_TOKEN in file in the root folder in the file called auth.json with the auth token you got in step 3 above.

{
    "token": "YOUR_BOTS_AUTH_TOKEN"
}

Finally

npm install

And then run the server:

node bot.js
