Create a bot

• First we need to create the bot, go here and make sure you’re logged in. Click on New Applicationand give your bot a name.
• Go to the “Bot” tab on the left and click Add Botunder the “BUILD-A-BOT” tab. Reveal the token and save it because we will need it later.
• Copy the client ID number on the “General Information” tab and paste it instead of the CLIENT_ID here https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=bot&permissions=8.
• In the opened site choose the server you want the bot to join and continue. Now the bot has joined your server but since you didn’t set him up he’s offline for now.

Code Editor

A code editor let’s us write and modify code. The code editor I use and recommend is Visual Studio Code.
You can also use other great editors like Sublime Text and Atom.

Node.js and npm

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime. It basically lets us run JavaScript code on our machine.

Download Node.js from its official website, discordjs requires v12 atleast.
To check if you installed it correctly, open your terminal (cmd or bash depending on which OS you are), and run node -v, you should get a number back. If you’re struggling with installing Node, check out this guide.

Next,

• After we’ve set up everything we need, it is time to run the bot!
• Go to your terminal(cmd, git bash or bash), you probably see on the left that you are now in your user folder(C:\Users/”username”). Enter cd Desktopto go to your Desktop. Then ‘git clone https://github.com/galnir/Master-Bot’. \
• You are cloning(copying) my bot repository from GitHub so you can use its code.
• Now fire up VScode. Select “File” in the top left of your screen, “Open Folder” and select the Master-Bot folder that was cloned into your Desktop.
• You should see all the repos content on your editor.
• Click on js. In line 7 change the id inside to your Discord user ID(see here) how to get it.
• Now create a new file inside the bot folder, name it jsonand paste the following json into it:
• Replace “Your-Bot-Token”with the token you copied in the first section and youtube-api-key with the key you got from the Youtube section.
• The last step is installing the dependencies using npm. Open your terminal(make sure you’re on desktop or wherever you saved your bot repo) and hit npm install. Then enter node index.jsand you should see your bot coming to life! You should be able to join a channel, use the !play command and your bot will play music.
• That’s it, in the repo’s README you should be able to learn about the bot’s commands.
