Manual Setup

Manual setup is the best approach when you run the bot on your local machine

Before choosing an approach you need to register the discord app!

⬇️ Install Required Software:

• GIT (GUI such GitHub Desktop can be helpful)

• Node.JS

🗳️ Clone The Repository

To clone the repository, either use the Git GUI if you have one installed or enter the following commands:

# if you don't want to contribute, just host the bot, nothing else
git clone https://github.com/ReplacementBot/ReplacementBot.git
cd ReplacementBot

If you want to contribute, first fork the original repository and clone the forked repository into your local machine. If you don't do this, you will not be able to make commits or change any files.

# if you want to contribute, make changes and work on the bot
git clone https://github.com/<username>/ReplacementBot.git
cd ReplacementBot

⚙️ Install Dependencies And Build Project

That step will setup files on your local machine that are not copied from the repository.

npm install
npm run build

✅ That's It!

You can now run bot anytime by running this command in the project directory

npm start
