Setup

In order to setup lofi.me to run correctly, you first need to install node.js. After, install the following packages with the following lines in Command Prompt / Terminal:

Discord API Wrapper

npm install discord.js

Logging

npm install winston

Streaming

npm install ffmpeg-binaries
npm install node-opus

YouTube Data and Streaming

npm install ytdl-core
npm install youtube-api-v3-search

Next, you are going to want to setup a Discord bot by going to https://discordapp.com/developers/applications and set up a new application and a bot. There are plenty of guides out there on how to get started. I recommend starting with this one.

Once your bot is setup, you want to go into the auth.json file and copy your Discord Client ID to the token field.

In order to query YouTube, you're also going to need a Google Cloud API Key. You can get one by setting up a new project in the Google Cloud at https://console.cloud.google.com. Once you have your project just create a new credential and you'll have an API Key ready to use. Just copy that over to the ytkey field in auth.json and your bot will now be ready to stream music!

Note: Never expose your Google API Key or your Discord client ID for security purposes.
