Python3.8 is the only version of python this has been tested on

Installing Dependencies

sudo apt-get install python3.8 python3.8-venv python3-pip

Setting up tokens

Create a a file in the directory utils called config.json. This file should look something like this:

{
  "TOKEN":"discord token", 
  "TOPTOKEN":"top.gg token",
  "DONATETOKEN":"donatebot.io token",
  "DELTOKEN":"discord extreme list token",
  "KSOFT":"ksoft.si token",
  "STATCORD":"statcord token"
}

Installing & running non-python dependencies

Both Lavalink and MongoDB need to be installed and ran.

To install MongoDB, I used this guide from DigitalOcean.

For Lavalink, download the latest .jar file from here, and use FTP to put it on your server (if it is remote).

You also need to set up the lavalink application.yml (see this example), and change the dict in cogs/music.py (starting at line 357) to the credentials in the lavalink application.yml. If your Mongo database is external and/or has a password, that needs to be specified in every MongoClient() call.

I usually run lavalink in a tmux session, and MongoDB using systemd.

Running the bot

This is very simple!

Use tmux to run the bot even when the ssh session is closed.

tmux

Then, run the main bot.py

python3.8 bot.py

You will most likely get some errors. If they are AttributeErrors, thats fine.

The bot should now be up, use this to generate an invite link
