About

This is a self-hosted, basic music streaming bot for Discord written in C++(17). I've tested and got it working on Linux, macOS, and Windows, but runs best on Linux.

Building

mkdir build
cd build
conan install ..
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Running

Create a bot account here. Use http://localhost for the redirect uri. Select the public bot checkbox and keep the bot's token safe.

Then go to https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=$CLIENT_ID&permissions=36766720&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=bot replacing $CLIENT_ID with your bot's client id to invite the bot to your guild.

Finally ./discord <bot-token> will run the bot.
