Running Locally

Make sure you have Node.js installed as well as Git SCM Windows | Mac | Linux if you're going to go this route. Otherwise, simply clone the repo or download it and unzip it to a folder on your desktop.

$ git clone git@github.com:acollierr17/discord.js-template.git # or fork
$ cd discord.js-template
$ npm install

Rename .env.example to .env and update the file with its respective details. Afterward, start the bot.

$ npm start

Your Discord.js bot should now be live! (Check the console if you need to double check anything).

Deploying to Heroku

With the included Procfile you have the option of deploying the bot to Heroku.

Make sure you have Heroku CLI installed before proceeding. You will need to download the Heroku Node.js buildpack first before moving along.

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs.git

Once the buildpack is installed, you may proceed with deployment.

$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku open
