Configuring and running

Configuring

Before you do anything, you need to create a bot user to host ghost2 on. Go to Discord's developer page, create a bot, and copy the token for it. See this guide if you need help.

To configure ghost2, you need to give it a properties file. Create ghost.properties next to your .jar file (or in src/main/resources, if you're a developer). Valid configuration properties can be found in the table below.

key	description	source (if applicable)
ghost.token	Bot token.	https://discordapp.com/developers/
ghost.operator_id	Snowflake of the current bot operator. The claimoperator command is preferred over manual configuration.	Right click -> Copy ID on a Discord user -- turn developer mode on!
ghost.w2g_api_key	Watch2Gether API key, used for generating Watch2Gether rooms.	not publicly available -- ghost2 currently provides a key for you
