voting_bot

Prerequisites

You need Python 3.5+ for this. The discord.py library used in this project does not support Python2.

Running

Bot Token

Create a file called creds.py in the same directory as voting-bot.py.

Add a line to creds.py with your discord bot token like this:

bot_token = "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN_HERE"

The creds.py file has obviously/deliberately not been pushed to GH for security reasons (it's' been added to the .gitignore so it won't be pushed).

To get the actual, correct bot token value, ask anyone on the Discord server, preferably theratulz or KnifeAndFawkes or anattaguy.

VirtualEnv

Create a VirtualEnvironment for this project, activate it, and install the dependencies like so on the command line:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install the discord.py module into the virtual environment.

Run Forrest, Run!

Now you should be able to run the bot like so:

$ python voting-bot.py
