Setup

Requirements

• Java JDK 1.8 (not OpenJDK)
• Instructions on how to install JDK 8 on your system: Installing-JDK1.8

Downloads

Download the latest JMusicBot-X.Y.Z.jar (and optionally, example config.txt file) from the releases page (or, get the URL from the releases page and then use wget or similar command-line tool to download).

Setup

• Download the JMusicBot-X.Y.Z.jar file (and the config.txt, optional) from the releases page. Your folder should look like this:
  
• Do not run this from the 'Downloads' or 'Desktop'. Use a folder within 'Documents'
• Fill in the config file (if you downloaded it). If you didn't download it, you will be prompted when you run for the first time. An example config.txt is provided below (See Getting a Bot Token and Finding Your User ID if you need help with the config).
  

token=MJHJkljflksdjfCoolTokenDudeILikeItkasdk
owner=113156185389092864
prefix="!"

• Double-click the jar file, or run java -Dnogui=true -jar JMusicBot-X.Y.Z.jar from the command line. (replace X, Y, and Z with the release numbers)
• Provide the requested information, if prompted.
• Wait for the "Finished Loading" message.
• Add the bot to your server. From the bot application page (where you got the token), find the Client ID and insert it in this link, replacing APP_ID: ​https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=APP_ID&scope=bot. If your bot has not been added to any guilds, a link will be provided in the console for you.
