### Installation

___

**Of course you can self-host the bot if you want to work on it, but I'd

rather prefer that you invite it to your guild instead of hosting your

own instance of it.**

### Get Python 3.6.5+

___

Any Python version higher or equal to 3.6.5 can be used to run the bot.

### Download or clone this repository and install the dependencies

___

After you got the source code of the bot, run

```$sql

    python3 -m pip install -U -r requirements.txt

```

to install all the requirements the bot has.

### Setup PostgreSQL on your machine

___

You can download and install it from [here](https://www.postgresql.org/)

It is important since you'll need a PostgreSQL database to connect your bot to.

The newest version should be fine but you'll need at least PostgreSQL 9.5.

__Type the following code into the psql tool:__

```$sql

    CREATE ROLE valepy WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'your_password';

    CREATE DATABASE valepy OWNER valepy;

    CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;

```

### Run the bot

___

Now everything you need to do is to run the bot.  

Get to the `config.example.py` file, rename it to `config.py` and fill out all necessary fields.  

And the last step is to open your console and type

```python

    # Windows:

    py -3 launch.py

    # Linux & macOS:

    python3 launch.py

```

**Important:** If you want your bot's logs inside the console, use `py -3 launch.py --stream-log`.

**On the first bot start, it is necessary to add the `--init-db` flag. E.g: `python3 launch.py --init-db`.  

This will create all database tables the bot depends on.**
