Quick start

Here is a quick guide to help you setup DevBot.

discord.py (tested with v1.2.3)
emoji (tested with v0.5.2)

Setting environment up

Install python
Install dependencies:

pip install discord.py
pip install emoji

Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/Alexinfos/devBot.git

Go to the Discord Developer Portal and create a new app.
Select the "Bot" option on the left menu.
Click "Add Bot" and validate.
Under "Token", click "Copy".
Open the "main.py" file with your prefered code editor/IDE and edit line 138 client.run("BOT-TOKEN") where "BOT-TOKEN" is your freshly-generated Discord Bot Token.
Create a debug channel on your discord test server, where the bot will print debug messages.
Enable "Developer Mode" in your Discord Client (Settings > Appearance > Advanced > Developer Mode), right-click on your newly-created debug channel to open the context menu and click "Copy ID".
Go back to the "main.py" file and edit line 16 test_channel = 0000 where "0000" is replaced with the channel id you just copied.
Go back to the Discord Developer Portal and click the "OAuth2" option on the left menu, then under "SCOPES" check the "bot" option.
You can then choose which permissions you want to give to your bot under "BOT PERMISSIONS" (I recommend you at least check all "TEXT PERMISSIONS").
Copy the generated link and open it in your browser. Select a server that the bot should join and run the main.py file with python !
