CommanderBot

Command-line interface for running an instance of CommanderBot.

Running your bot

You can run your own bot without writing any code.

You will need the following:

1. Your own Discord Application with a bot token.
2. A configuration file for the bot.
3. A Python 3.8+ environment with the commanderbot package installed.
   • It is recommended to use a virtual environment for this.
   • Run pip install commanderbot to install the bot core package.
4. (Optional) The commanderbot-ext package; if you are using any of the provided extensions.
   • Run pip install commanderbot-ext to install the bot extensions package.

The first thing you should do is check the CLI help menu:

python -m commanderbot --help

There are three ways to provide your bot token:

1. (Recommended) As the BOT_TOKEN environment variable: BOT_TOKEN=put_your_bot_token_here
2. As a CLI option: --token put_your_bot_token_here
3. Manually, when prompted during start-up

Here's an example that provides the bot token as an argument:

python -m commanderbot bot.json --token put_your_bot_token_here
