I'm rewriting benbot in C#. Eventually all PHP will be replaced by C# because the DiscordPHP project is dead.
This is a Discord bot I've been working on. Under heavy development. It was my senior project.
Feel free to clone or fork this project and try your hand at making a bot.
Requires PHP 7.1.4 or later and Composer
git clone https://github.com/benharri/benbot && cd benbot
- Install DiscordPHP and dependencies:
composer install
- Get your Discord API Key and save it in
.env
(copy or rename.env.example
and paste your keys in) - --optional save your API keys in
.env
for openweathermap.org, cleverbot.com, and a phone number for the text command - Run the bot
./bot start
If you want to keep your bot running in the background, run it as
./bot nohup
. If bash isn't available, you can run the bot with justphp run.php
(andnohup php run.php &
to run in the background)
