This page serves as a guide for a new user to start using the Prodosía application. It will go over the required steps to make the application functional.

Where to download

Look through the releases for this project:
https://github.com/RoseLaLuna/Prodosia/releases
And preferably pick the latest release. From this release, download the Prodosía.jar file and put it in a folder on your computer. This application will create several separate documents that will be placed in the same folder.

Setting up the Imgur API credentials

Main article: Imgur API Credentials

When the bot is first opened, assuming no outside keys.txt has been provided, it will immediately direct to the API keys. Without proper Imgur API credentials the bot will not be able to function.
The keys for both the Imgur Api credentials and the Discord token are stored in a file named keys.txt which can be found in the same folder as the application executable. Should it be necessary to look them up or replace them, it can be done outside of the application as well by opening it with a text editor. For these changes to apply, the application needs to be restarted. If this file is deleted, the Api credentials will have to be given again.

Setting up the Discord token

Main article: Discord token

It is highly recommended to setup a discord bot account for the Prodosía application:

  • Keep subscriptions and unsubscriptions in a central place.
  • Maintain automated archives for specified taglists.
  • Significantly faster response times than through imgur comments.

Logging in to imgur.com

After the application is opened and the Imgur API credentials have been set up, the application will request for a login. Any comments posted by the application will be posted through this account.
Another file in the application folder, cookie.txt pertains to a cookie that is stored after a user has logged in. While a cookie is still active and functional, the application can be restarted without having to login again.
Troubleshooting: Sometimes after an imgur update the old cookie credentials won't be valid anymore. If experiencing issues with the bot not functioning, first attempt to remove the cookie, restart the application and then log in again. This should solve most problems.

Setting up the command prefix

One of the first courses of action can be to set up a custom prefix.
