Step #0: Install Node.js.
Step #1: Open a shell & navigate to the directory where you have cloned the code.
Step #2: To install the required dependencies, run npm install.
Step #3: To compile to code, run npm run build.
You should notice that a new folder has appeared. This folder contains the compiled code.
Step #4: Create a new file called config.json. Use config-example.json as a guide.
Step #5: Create a Discord bot. From there, locate the bot token & add it to config.json.
Step #6: Locate your Discord ID & add it to the array of owner ID's. This will unlock privileged commands, such as eval & reload.
Step #6: You will need to create a Mongo database to store Reddit authentication tokens.
The information used to configure Mongo can then be added to config.json.
Step #7: Create a Reddit application. Set the type as: "web app." Create a Reddit OAuth URL using this guide. The following scopes are required: identity, submit, subscribe, vote, mysubreddits, read, edit, & privatemessages. For the state, use "USERID." For the authorization token, head to this website. Encode YOUR_APP_ID:YOUR_APP_SECRET, then paste the encoded string into config.json.
Step #8: Set up the web server. Set the port/host. The default endpoints & more can be found in WebServer.js located @ src/Classes.
Step #9: To start the bot, run node lib/index.js!
