Discord Bot Template

Setup

Local

If running from your computer:

1. Clone this Repository.
2. Create a file called .env in the root folder, with main.py and the other files. The .env file should look like this:

DISCORD_TOKEN = <token>

Replace <token> with your Discord Bot Token.

Once that's done, run main.py. You should see a log that says "User has connected to Discord"; this means your Bot user is online!

Online

If running online:

1. Go to Replit.com and log in.
2. Create a new Replit and edit the name and description.
3. Clone this Repository and add all the files to the Replit's library.
4. Make an environment variable called DISCORD_TOKEN with your Discord Bot Token inside.
5. If you want to have the Bot run after the tab is closed, set Always On to true in the Replit settings.
6. Click the big Run button at the top. After the Python libraries download, you should see a message in the log that says "User has connected to Discord". If your Bot user appears online and you turned on Always On, you may now safely close the tab.

If it doesn't work, make sure the .replit file looks like this:

run="python main.py"
language="python3"
onBoot="echo Booting up!"
