Hey there! Alec is a multi-purpose Discord bot, Alec is fairly new bot and isn't used in any large servers yet, just by adding Alec you're helping our project!
Alec is open source mainly to get help from the community, we don't have any official documentation on how to self-host Alec, but here's a rough guide;
- Clone Alec's repo to where you want to host the bot.
git clone https://github.com/SwiftPoint334/Alec-public.git
- Install the packages required;
Discord.py - python3 -m pip install -U discord.py
Dotenv - pip install python-dotenv
Discord.py slash - pip install discord-py-slash-command
- Make a file called
.env
inside the folder, add your token like so:
DISCORD_BOT_SECRET=jfhgdfjvhdskjafgds6er545.5467trghefv
^ ^
You'd put your token here.
- Run it!
python3 main.py
My name is Parker, I'm a student that lives in Canada, I'm hoping to get some donations to support my development so I have some motivation to continue my work.
Don't worry, we're all there at some point, I offer some basic help with discord.py and Alec in my discord: https://discord.gg/xxqjueJ9p6
