Creds Guide

This document aims to guide you through the process of creating a Discord account for your bot (the Discord Bot application), and inviting that account into your Discord server.

• Go to the Discord developer application page.
• Log in with your Discord account.
• Click New Application.
• Fill out the Name field however you like.
• Go to the Bot tab on the left sidebar.
• Click on the Add a Bot button and confirm that you do want to add a bot to this app.
• Optional: Add bot's avatar and description.
• Copy your Token to creds.yml as shown above.
• Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section and enable both intents. These are required for a number of features to function properly, and should both be on.

Inviting your bot to your server

• On the General Information tab, copy your Application ID from your applications page.
• Replace the YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE in this link: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=66186303 with your Client ID
• The link should now look something like this: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=123123123123&scope=bot&permissions=66186303
• Access that newly created link, pick your Discord server, click Authorize and confirm with the captcha at the end
• The bot should now be in your server

That's it! You may now go back to the installation guide you were following before 🎉
