  • Save everything. You are now ready to run the code.

  • You can either use an IDE (I recomend PyCharm or VS Code), or terminal to run the code.

To Run

Via Terminal Navigate into the

python server.py

OR

python3 server.py
  • If it is working correctly and you have put in the correct values for the DISCORD_TOKEN and DISCORD_CHANNEL, as well switching TOKEN_FILLED & CHANNEL_FILLED to 0, in the terminal it should say "We have logged in as 'name of your bot'" and you should receive a message in your server.
