Prerequisites

To get this bot working, we need access to the following:

• Server ID of a guild
• Token of a Discord bot
• An OpenAI Key

Guild Server ID

1. Enable developer mode (Discord desktop) by pressing the cog next to your profile icon to enter settings, selecting Advanced, and toggling on Developer Mode.
2. After exiting settings, right-click on the guild to which you want to add the bot and select Copy Server ID. Make a note of that somewhere.
   • Note: If you want to add the bot to someone else's guild, make sure to have their permissions first. If you don't have the required permissions, you'll also need to ask them to add the bot to the guild for you.

Discord Bot Token

Assuming you're generating a Discord app for the first time:

1. Login to the Discord developer portal.
2. Create a New Application.
3. Select your bot & click on Bot on the LHS menu.
4. Click on Reset Token and make a note of it for later. If you lose this token, you'll need to generate a new one.
5. Generate a Permission Integer by using the tool at the bottom of the Bot menu. Keep in mind that for the bot to function as intended, it needs to be able to moderate users on top of other permissions like sending & receiving messages. We recommend using the following permissions integer: 1995012435014.
6. Navigating to the OAuth2 menu on the left, make a note of the Client ID.
7. Construct a URL of the following format: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=bot&permissions=PERMISSIONS_INTEGER, replacing CLIENT_ID and PERMISSIONS_INTEGER with the values found above.
8. By following the link, add the bot to the server with the same Guild Server ID. Note: if you're not an admin on the server, send this link to someone who is.

OpenAI Key

Assuming this is your first time dealing with OpenAI's API:

1. After creating an OpenAI account, navigate to the API keys menu.
2. Create a new Secret Key and make a note of it.
3. Make sure you have some credit available.

Installation Steps

1. git clone the repository & navigate into it.
2. Run npm install to install all packages required.
3. Create a .env file and copy the contents into it from .env-template.
4. Inside the .env file, fill in the values of the Server ID, Discord Bot Token, and OpenAI API key with the values you've acquired from following the Prerequisite steps.
5. Start the project using npm start.
