How to

1. Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Install Node.js

Make sure Node.js (v16 or higher) is installed on your machine or hosting service.

2. Download or Extract the Bot Files

Unzip the file you received.

Place the contents in a new folder on your machine or server.

Example:

{
  "token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE",
  "prefix": "!",
  "ownerID": "YOUR_DISCORD_ID"
}

Never share your bot token!

3. Install Dependencies

Open a terminal in the bot's folder and run

npm install

This will install all required packages listed in package.json

4. Start the Bot

After configuration and installation:

node index.js

Or, if using a different entry point (like bot.js, main.js, etc.), adjust the command.

5. Hosting Options

You can host your bot:

Locally (keep your PC running)

On a VPS with new horizon hosting

6. Bot Commands & Features

Once online, your bot will respond to commands using the prefix you set (!help, !commands, etc.). A full command list should be included or type !help in your server.

7. Need Help?

If you're having issues:

Double-check your bot token and config

Look at your terminal for errors

Reach out with a screenshot or error message
