# Python Discord Bot Template
This repository is a template that everyone can use for the start of their discord bot.
When I first started creating my discord bot it took me a while to get everything setup and working with cogs and more.
I would've been happy if there were any template existing. However, there wasn't any existing template. That's why I
decided to create my own template to let you guys create your discord bot easily.
Please note that this template is not supposed to be the best template, but a good template to start learning how
discord.py works and to make your own bot easily.
If you plan to use this template to make your own template or bot, you **have to**:
- Keep the credits, and a link to this repository in all the files that contains my code
- Keep the same license
See [the license file](https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template/blob/master/LICENSE.md) for more
information, I reserve the right to take down any repository that does not meet these requirements.
## Support
Before requesting support, you should know that this template requires you to have at least a **basic knowledge** of
Python and the library is made for advanced users. Do not use this template if you don't know the
basics. [Here's](https://pythondiscord.com/pages/resources) a link for resources to learn python.
If you need some help for something, do not hesitate to join my discord server [here](https://discord.gg/HzJ3Gfr).
All the updates of the template are available [here](UPDATES.md).
## Disclaimer
When using the template you confirm that you have read the [license](LICENSE.md) and comprehend that I can take down
your repository if you do not meet these requirements.
Please do not open issues or pull requests about things that are written in the [TODO file](TODO.md), they are **
already** under work for the version 3.0 of the template.
## How to download it
This repository is now a template, on the top left you can simply click on "**Use this template**" to create a GitHub
repository based on this template.
Alternatively you can do the following:
* Clone/Download the repository
* To clone it and get the updates you can definitely use the command
`git clone`
* Create a discord bot [here](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
* Get your bot token
* Invite your bot on servers using the following invite:
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=8 (
Replace `YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE` with the application ID)
## How to set up
To set up the bot I made it as simple as possible. I now created a [config.json](config.json) file where you can put the
needed things to edit.
Here is an explanation of what everything is:
| Variable | What it is |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| YOUR_BOT_PREFIX_HERE | The prefix(es) of your bot |
| YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE | The token of your bot |
| YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE | The application ID of your bot |
| OWNERS | The user ID of all the bot owners |
In the [blacklist](blacklist.json) file you now can add IDs (as integers) in the `ids` list.
## How to start
To start the bot you simply need to launch, either your terminal (Linux, Mac & Windows), or your Command Prompt (
Windows)
.
Before running the bot you will need to install all the requirements with this command:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
If you have multiple versions of python installed (2.x and 3.x) then you will need to use the following command:
```
python3 bot.py
```
or eventually
```
python3.8 bot.py
```
If you have just installed python today, then you just need to use the following command:
```
python bot.py
```
