Requirements

• Python 3.5 or higher
• MySQL/MariaDB server

Setup

1. Create a schema inside MySQL/MariaDB. You can name it whatever you want, just remember what you call it.

2. Go to discord developers, create an application, then add a bot user, and make note of the token. Also add this bot user to whatever servers you want to - this isn't documented, as you can find guides to do this everywhere

3. Copy config.json.example to config.json, populating the fields with what you require. For database, insert the schema you created.

4. Run python3 setup.py - this will populate your chosen schema with our database setup, and install all of our requirements

5. Run python3 bot.py - you're all ready to go!
