Installation

This bot is written to run on top of node.js. Please see https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Once you have node installed running npm install from the bot directory should install all the needed packages. If this command prints errors the bot won't work!

Windows Users

Please note that you must have a working C compiler and Python in your path for npm install to work. The bot has been tested to work on Windows using Visual Studio 2015 Community and Python 2.7, except for !pullanddeploy.

RSS

You can create an rss.json file adding rss feeds as commands. See rss.json.example for details.

Special instructions for setting up google search and youtube APIs:

(thanks @SchwererKonigstiger)

1. Create a Custom Search at: https://cse.google.com/cse/create/new

2. Leave the first line blank, and name the search engine anything you wish.

3. Click "Advanced Options" and then type ImageObject.

4. Hit create.

5. On this new page, enable the Image Search in the menu.

6. Then press "Search engine ID" under the Details header.

7. Copy this into the auth.json's "google_custom_search" section.

Make sure you also have your google server API key, which goes in the "youtube_api_key" section, or the search will fail.

Running

Before first run you will need to create an auth.json file. The email and password for a discord account are required. The other credentials are not required for the bot to run, but highly recommended as commands that depend on them will malfunction. See auth.json.example.

To start the bot just run node discord_bot.js.

Updates

If you update the bot, please run npm update before starting it again. If you have issues with this, you can try deleting your node_modules folder and then running npm install again. Please see Installation.

ToDo:

All the things!
