Configuring and running the bot.

First things first: to run the bot on your own you need the node.js framework installed on your system.

1. Start by creating a bot on the Discord Developer Portal with the necessary scopes (bot, applications.commands) and permissions (Admin).
2. Add the necessary information from there to the .env_sample and rename it to .env.
3. Add the bot to your server.
4. Edit the src/config.ts to your hearts content and configure the bot for your needs.
5. Run npm install via the console in the directory to install all the required dependencies.
6. Use npm run start to build the project and run it.

Note: You can also use our Docker image.
