Create the Bot on Discord

When the installation is complete and after running the bot once to generate the config files, you’ll need to create the bot application on Discord.

1. Go to the Discord developers site.
2. Create a new application.
3. Go to the Installation tab.
4. Set the Installation Link to None
5. Go to the Bot tab.
6. Disable the Public Bot option.
7. Enable the Presence Intent, Server Members Intent, and Message Content Intent options.
8. Go to the OAuth2 tab.
9. In the OAuth2 URL Generator section, check the bot and applications.commands scopes.
10. In the Bot Permissions section, check the Administrator permission.
11. Copy the generated link at the bottom of the page, paste it into your browser, and add the bot to your server.

Configuring the Bot

1. Return to the Discord developers site.
2. Choose your application and go to the Bot tab.
3. Reset the bot token to get a new token.
4. Copy the token.
5. Open the /configs/config.yml file.
6. Paste the token into the token field.
7. Add your primary guild ID to the primary-guild field. The primary guild is the guild where the bot will be primarily used. To find your guild ID, you can right-click on the server name in Discord and select Copy Server ID. Make sure Developer Mode is enabled in your Discord settings.
8. Save the file.
9. If you have addons for the bot, you can add them to the /build/addons/ folder. The folders need to be unzipped, with each addon in its own folder.
10. Launch the bot and enjoy the features of ItsMyBot!
