Commands shown here are unix compatible and may need to be altered for Windows users.

Create a new virtual environment and activate it

$ python -m venv .venv
$ source ./.venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

$ pip install -r requirements.dev.txt

Copy the example .env file

$ cp .example.env .env

Update the values in .env for your development bot

Ensure the bot has the proper permissions and intents (all)

Run the bot

$ python -m hom

Once the bot is running, make sure to run the !sync command in your dev server. This syncs the bots application commands with Discord.

Contributing with Docker

You can also run the bot inside docker with hot reloading. It is still recommended to have have python and the bot's dependencies installed for compatibility with your linter.

Still make sure to copy the .env file and that your discord bot application has proper perms in the developer dashboard.

$ docker-compose up

Every time you save a python file in the hom directory, the bot will restart.
