Installing discory.py library

Before we can make any bots, we first have to install the discord.py library. Here's how to do that:

On Windows:

Open up your Command Prompt (go the Windows Search Bar and type in "cmd")

Type in this command:

py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]

if that doesn't work, try

pip install -U discord.py[voice]

On Mac:

Open up your Terminal

Type in

python3 -m pip install -U "discord.py[voice]"

Note: discord.py is only supported by Python 3.5.3 or higher. If you have a lower version, go download a newer version at the Python Homepage.

Discord developer setup

discord developer portal: https://discord.com/developers/applications
create New Application
after applicaiton is created go to Bot tab and Reset Token

After the token is reset go to the OAuth2 -> URL Generator tab and select the following Scopes and Bot Permissions:

Scopes:

• bot

Bot Permissions:

• Administrator

Generate the url it will look similar to the following:

https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<your-bots-application-id-ie-client-id>&permissions=8&scope=bot

Copy the url and open a browser page and paste the url in the browser. This will allow you to invite the bot to your discord server.
