Installation:

• Requires node ^18.0, runs on windows, macOS, linux and docker.
• For installation of nodejs, see here for instruction: https://nodejs.org/en/download/ or https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
• Edit config.json and update the file with Bot token (Not Client secret!).

1. Download it as zip or use git clone https://github.com/kennethrisa/discord-rustserverstatus.git
2. Extract it and open folder, than open powershell in the same folder.
3. Run command: npm install (This downloads the require modules from package.json)
4. a: You can manualy do this with command: npm install discord.js request ws gamedig
5. b: You should now see that you have a new folder node_modules.
6. c: Start the bot npm start, and then close it, you will then see it has created a config file under /config/server1.json
7. Open config/server1.json and add your token from (Do not use client secret) https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me/
8. Now we can start the bot with command: node app.js and you should see that the bot is started.

Install Windows only from command prompt (Manuall start)

• Open powershell in the directory you downloaded: npm install
• npm start # (It will fail bc of config file does not exist and create an example one)
• It will now create a config file in folder config/server1.json
• Edit server1.json with all the information.
• Start the bot again: npm start

Windows only: Install the app as a windows service.

• Open powershell: npm install
• npm install -g node-windows
• npm link node-windows
• node installSVC.js
• You will get some prompt to allow it to install, press yes on all.
• Open services.msc and see discord-rustserverstatus is started. now it will always start on bootup.

• Uninstall:
  • node uninstallSVC.js
  • Press yes on all prompts

Linux only: Start bot always using forever

• $ npm install forever -g
• $ forever start /path/to/app.js
• Someone named nimdasys on oxide reported it. Thanks
