A Powerful Discord Music Bot made using Discord JDA & Lavaplayer themed around Winston (From Overwatch, the hit 2016 IGN Game of The Year)
This bot was previously made for my How To Learn a New Language Course in the first year of my Software Engineering Graduate Apprenticeship. The previous README.md can be found here

You can deploy an instance of winston on your own server with the steps below!
- First, you're going to want to
git clonethe repo as shown below
git clone https://github.com/sgoudham-university/Winston-Bot
I've laid out 2 methods below for further installation, it's up to you which one you choose. I'd recommend method 1 for more experienced users in the terminal and method 2 for beginner users.
- After successfully cloning the repo, run
mvn package
This will read the pom.xml file and build all the dependencies that the bot will need to run on your local machine.
This is assuming that you have maven installed and ready to go on your computer, if not,
you can grab it here
- Now you can run the bot through the terminal by using the command shown below (after configuring your environment properly)
java -jar target/winston.jar
If you have Intellij installed, you can directly read in the pom.xml file, and it can resolve all your
dependencies for you.
- After successfully cloning the repo, start-up Intellij and then select the
pom.xmland thenOpen as Project
- Open the
application.ymlfile within the root directory - To ensure the application can run, the variables inside
${}must be set as environment variables
In order to get your bot token above, you will need to head over to
the Discord Developers website and register a bot application. There are
many other tutorials out there that cover this, personally, I recommend
reading this to get your bot setup. To enable the usage of
Slash Commands, the application.commands scope must also be ticked. Furthermore, please visit
this discord support article
for help in obtaining your Owner ID.
