Discord Bot Setup

This guide explains how to set up the Discord bot locally on your machine.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have the following installed:

• Git (for cloning the repository)
• SQLite (for the database, installed automatically by Prisma)

Steps to Set Up the Bot

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-folder>
   

2. Install Dependencies Use npm to install all required dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Set Up the Database Initialize the database using Prisma:

   npx prisma migrate dev --name init
   

4. Create a .env File Add a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

   DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your-bot-token-here
   

Replace your-bot-token-here with your actual Discord bot token from the Discord Developer Portal.

6. Compile the TypeScript Code Convert the TypeScript source files into JavaScript:

   npx tsc
   node dist/index.js
