Nyx Rewrite

This is the codebase for the rewrite of Nyx, written with Eris Oceanic.js and a lot of energy drinks.

THIS CODE IS BASICALLY A MIXTURE OF MY CURRENT KNOWLEDGE IN JAVASCRIPT AND MY KNOWLEDGE YEARS BACK. IT'S A MESS. THAT'S WHY NYX V3 IS IN DEVELOPMENT, I ONLY OPEN-SOURCED THIS FOR TRANSPARENCY AND POTENTIALLY IF PEOPLE WANTED TO SELF-HOST THEIR OWN INSTANCES.

Setup

Make sure that you have Node.js & NPM (to run the bot itself), FFmpeg (for music support), and Git (for self-updating support) installed.

1. Clone the repository through the commandline by running git clone https://github.com/nyx-bot/Nyx -b v2 in the preferred directory of your choice.
2. Copy config.example.json into config.json and edit it accordingly.

• Create a bot token on Discord's official developer page
• Don't worry about Top.gg & Genuis API keys here as they're handled by the musicAPI.
• [OPTIONAL] Set up and configure a nyxCache system from this repository
• [OPTIONAL] Set up and configure the musicAPI from this repository

3. Install packages with npm install.
4. Run index.js with your favorite Node.js process manager.

Personally, I'd use PM2 to manage the instance. Nyx also fully supports their web dashboard placeholders thing or whatever it's called.
