Purpose

takt is a simple, lightweight and privacy-focused music bot for your Discord servers.

You are just a few seconds away from having your own private music discord bot !

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

You will need Python 3 to use this module

Minimum required versions: 3.8

Although the code itself is made compatible with Python >=3.6, the dependencies require at least Python 3.8.

Always check if your Python version works with takt before using it in production.

Installing

Option 1: From PyPI

pip install --upgrade takt

This will install the latest version from PyPI

Option 2: From Git

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/Animenosekai/takt.git

This will install the latest development version from the git repository

You can check if you successfully installed it by printing out its version:

$ takt --version
1.0

FFmpeg

You also need ffmpeg installed on your computer to be able to run takt properly.

Usage

CLI

Running

Running takt is dead simple:

takt --token=<YOUR DISCORD TOKEN>

And this is even easier if you set the TAKT_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN environment variable:

takt

Note
You could also try hosting your bot on Heroku directly by using this repository since it already has a Procfile

Prefix

You can set the bot's command prefix using the --prefix argument:

takt --prefix=">"

More

For more information, head over to your terminal and enter:

takt --help

Invite

Here is the current invite URL for the public version:

https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=923625007333113856&permissions=274881055744&scope=bot%20applications.commands

You can create your own URL by replacing your Client ID:

https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>&permissions=274881055744&scope=bot%20applications.commands

This Client ID can be found on your Discord Developer Portal, after selecting your bot, under the OAuth2 section.

Warning
The live public version of the bot is almost always down and shouldn't be used for anything other than development
