How to code a Discord Bot with Windows, Mac, and Linux

To code a discord bot you only need three things the Terminal, a good wifi connection, and Nodejs. This can work on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a bot in JavaScript.

This is best for beginners

Token

Open your browser and get into the discord developer portal:

Then:

Next, you need to create a new bot:

Create

Hit create and then:

Click on Bot:

Then click add Bot

And click yes do it

And finally:

Note I changed the name because to many TESTS were taken so make sure your name is unique

Copy the token and Keep it you WILL need it later

Now real quickly make a discord server:

And to add it go to OAuth2 click bot and at the bottom copy the link and paste it into your browser:

From there add the bot

WINDOWS

So first you want to make a folder on your desktop called Bot. Then make a file called index.js REMEMBER .js IS VERY IMPORTANT

BTW you need node.js so to get node you need to go to this link.

Node.js

When you go through installation continue

Next, you want to right-click the index.js file and open it with notepad.

Copy and paste this code

// require the discord.js module
const Discord = require('discord.js');

// create a new Discord client
const client = new Discord.Client();

// when the client is ready, run this code
// this event will only trigger one time after logging in
client.once('ready', () => {
	console.log('Ready!');
});

// login to Discord with your app's token
client.login('your-token-goes-here');

Replace ‘your-token-goes-here’ with the token I told you to copy above

Then open up the PowerShell if you need help finding it look it up on the internet.

Enter the command

cd c:\Users\(username)\Desktop

Replace username with you username

Then type:

npm install discord.js

And finally, type

node index.js

MAC OS

To make a discord bot in Mac is pretty much the same

First, you will need to make sure that you have node.js

Node.js

Next after you install it

1. make a folder on your desktop

2. Open the folder

Refer to the link in the caption

And once you have your directory setup in your terminal type the command:

touch index.js

Next

npm install discord.js

Finally right click the file in the folder outside the terminal click open with notepad or editor and copy and past the code.

// require the discord.js module
const Discord = require('discord.js');

// create a new Discord client
const client = new Discord.Client();

// when the client is ready, run this code
// this event will only trigger one time after logging in
client.once('ready', () => {
	console.log('Ready!');
});

// login to Discord with your app's token
client.login('your-token-goes-here');

Change the token

your-token-goes-here
With your token That I told you to copy above

Finally type in the terminal this:

node index.js

Linux

When I mean start with Linux we are doing this completely using the terminal

So in the terminal I will do this in ubuntu and debian.

Debian version will work with the rasberry pi

UBUNTU

sudo apt install nodejs
---Next---
sudo apt install npm
---Next---
wget -qO-https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
--Next---
source ~/.profile
--Next---
nvm install 10.15.1

After that you finished installing node

Now type:

mkdir bot
--next--
cd bot
--next--
touch index.js
--next--
npm install discord.js
-----------------------

And Now

sudo apt install vim
--next--
vim index.js

You should be taken to a screen for vim

and press i

After you pressed i

Type in this code

// require the discord.js module
const Discord = require('discord.js');

// create a new Discord client
const client = new Discord.Client();

// when the client is ready, run this code
// this event will only trigger one time after logging in
client.once('ready', () => {
	console.log('Ready!');
});

// login to Discord with your app's token
client.login('your-token-goes-here');

After you typed the code and replaced the “Your token goes here” With the token, you got from the beginning of the document.
