Lavalink Installation

Head to the official Lavalink repo and give it a star!

• Create a folder for storing Lavalink.jar and related files/folders.

• Copy and paste the example application.yml to application.yml in the folder we created earlier. You can open the yml in Notepad or any simple text editor.

• Change your password in the application.yml and store it in a config for your bot.

• Set local to true in the application.yml if you wish to use wavelink.LocalTrack for local machine search options… Otherwise ignore.

• Save and exit.

• Install Java 17(Windows) or Java 13+ on the machine you are running.

• Download Lavalink.jar and place it in the folder created earlier.

• Open a cmd prompt or terminal and change directory cd into the folder we made earlier.

• Run: java -jar Lavalink.jar
