## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

- You have latest [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed.
- You have [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) installed.
- You have [git](https://git-scm.com) installed.
## Step 1: Setting Up the Bot
1. Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
2. Click on "New Application" and give it a name.
3. You can choose between Personal or Team
4. Agree to Discord Developer Terms of Service and Developer Policy
5. You have created your Discord Bot.
### Step 2: Get the Bot Token & ID
1. In the "General Information" tab, click "Copy" under "Application ID". Save this ID as it will be used in your code.
2. In the "Bot" tab, click "Copy" under "TOKEN". Save this token as it will be used in your code.
> Due to a recent update from Discord, you need to reset your bot token to be able to copy it.
> Do not share your Discord Bot Token. Tokens shown in the example are no longer valid.
### Step 3: Invite the Bot to Your Server
1. Go to the "OAuth2" tab.
2. Under "OAuth2 URL Generator", select "bot" and "application.commands".
3. Under "Bot Permissions", select the permissions your bot will need.
4. Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser.
5. Select the server you want to add the bot to and authorize it.
### Step 4: Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Rihanss/discordbot-example-v14.git
```
### Step 5: Install Dependencies
```bash
npm install
```
### Step 6: Configure the Bot
1. Rename `example.env` to `.env`
2. Fill the required values from with what have you saved from step 2.
```bash
TOKEN=YOURBOTTOKEN
CLIENTID=BOTID
```
### Step 7: Start the bot
```bash
node deploy
```
> This also creates commands needed for your Discord bot to respond.
# Troubleshooting
### Error: Used disallowed intents
The error `Error: Used disallowed intents` occurs when your Discord bot is trying to use Gateway Intents that haven't been enabled or aren't allowed for your bot. Discord introduced Gateway Intents to give developers more control over what events their bot receives. However, some intents are considered "privileged" and require you to enable them explicitly in your bot's settings on the Discord Developer Portal.
```shell
error: new Error("Used disallowed intents")
^
Error: Used disallowed intents
```
Steps to Fix the Error
- Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
- Select your bot application.
- Navigate to the "Bot" tab on the left.
- Scroll down to the "Privileged Gateway Intents" section.
- Enable the all intents.
