- Install Node.js if you don't have it. This template was developed and tested in versions above 18+.
- Clone this repository.
- Install all the required dependencies with
npm install. - Copy the contents of
example.envin a new file called.envand fill in everything that is needed. Then do the same forconfig.example.ts, in this case the new file has to be calledconfig.ts. Theexample.envfile contains comments to help you understand what the settings do; same forconfig.example, but the documentation is located on thesrc/structures/IConfiguration.tsinterface itself. - Build the proyect using
npm run build. Then runnpm run start:buildto start the bot. - You can also just run
npm run start:devto run the proyect using ts-node. - You can also use
npm run start:watchto run the proyect using ts-node with nodemon.
Important: all commands must be executed in the root directory of the proyect. Avoid running from folders like dist or src. It's also recommended to only use the scripts that the proyect has (from package.json) to build or run it. If you don't do any of these, you can probably get file/module find errors.
