This bot is written to run on top of node.js. Please see https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Once you have NodeJS installed, running npm install from the bot directory should install all required packages. If this command prints errors, the bot won't work!
Please note that you must have a working C compiler and Python in your path for
npm install to work. The bot has been tested to work on Windows using Visual Studio 2015 Community and Python 2.7, except for !pullanddeploy.
Tuck 64 was kind enough to make a video walkthrough of the setup process
You can create an rss.json file adding rss feeds as commands. See rss.json.example for details.

-
Create a Custom Search at: https://cse.google.com/cse/create/new
-
Leave the first line blank, and name the search engine anything you wish.
-
Click "Advanced Options" and then type ImageObject.
-
Hit create.
-
On this new page, enable the Image Search in the menu.
-
Then press "Search engine ID" under the Details header.
-
Copy this into the auth.json's "google_custom_search" section.
Make sure you also have your Google server API key, which is located in the "youtube_api_key" section, or the search will fail.
Before the first run you will need to create an auth.json file. A bot token or the email and password for a discord account are required. The other credentials are not required for the bot to run, but they are highly recommended as commands that depend on them will malfunction. See auth.json.example.
To start the bot just run
node discord_bot.js.
- Music is always saying "invalid video"
you likely need to update youtube-dl. you can do so with
node ./node_modules/youtube-dl/scripts/download.js
You will also need to create an auth.json file with your credentials with this process, follow the steps above.
If you update the bot, please run npm update before starting it again. If you have
issues with this, you can try deleting your node_modules folder and then running
npm install again. Please see Installation.
Setup the bot!
