Optional tools

  pip install -e git+https://gitlab.com/pycqa/flake8#egg=flake8

How to setup

[Optional]
If you use Windows, I would recommend using chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/install) to install
ffmpeg, python and git, as it's both easier and promising to work.

Chocolatey command usage:
choco install <package>

Replace <package> with what you want to install, also remember to use Command Prompt as Admin.

1. Make a bot here and grab the token

2. Rename the file config.json.example and fill in the required spots, such as token, prefix and game

3. To install what you need, do pip install -r requirements.txt
   (If that doesn't work, do python -m pip install -r requirements.txt)
   Note to 3: Use pip install with Administrator/sudo

4. Start the bot by typing in CMD/Terminal python index.py

5. You're done, enjoy your bot!
