A simple, noob-friendly Discord bot to keep your chat clear from bot commands
Make sure you have npm!
Head over to the Discord developer portal and click "New Application".
Ignore everything and go to the Bot section, in the sidebar. Once there, click "add bot". Next, go to the OAuth2 section in the sidebar and select "Bot" as a scope and "Administrator" for permissions. Now copy the URL that has been generated just under scopes and paste it in your browser. You will be prompted to select a server in which you want the bot to be in.
Download the source code (it really is just one file) from up top, right here, and open a terminal/CMD window.
Open the folder inside the terminal (cd /path/to/folder on mac) and run npm init.
Once the process is complete, run npm install discord.js. Your folder should now look like this:
Next, open index.js in your text editor of choice and follow the instructions there (added as comments).
- Note: your bot token is found under the "bot" section on the Discord developer portal.
There is a shorter (but harder to understand) fork by Nemdev which you can check out here if you're into efficiency and not a noob like me
