We have designed this barebones example to be quite easy to set up. All you need to do is find out your bot's user token. In order to do that, we must register our bot on discord.
-
Navigate to the Discord API docs and login.
-
Click on the "New App" button.
-
Name your app. Click "Create App".
-
Click "Create a Bot User".
-
Locate your bot's user token.
- Your user token must not be shared with anyone. If it is posted publicly, change it ASAP.
-
Create a new file in your directory:
config.properties -
Add your token to the first line in the file. Example (inside
config.properties):token=[TOKEN GOES HERE]
All of these commands must be run in the command line (or terminal) in the same directory as the local repository.
To build runnable executables of the bot:
gradle build
To execute the bot:
gradle run
Note If running in Windows, you can stop the Bot from running by performing CTRL + C and then confirming the decision by pressing Y
