Cat Bot

Discord Cat Bot Source Code

Development

Please note that self-hosting is hacky and isn't supported; instructions below are for testing/development/messing around. I won't stop you, but you WILL have to mess around with the code a bunch for it to work good, so be warned.

Prerequisites

• Python 3 (around 3.8 or so, newer is better ofc)
• PostgreSQL
• Git (optional)

Instructions

1. Clone the repository. You can use the green "Code" button at the top or a git command:

   git clone https://github.com/milenakos/cat-bot.git
   

2. Install requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   If you are running a Gateway Proxy, do pip install -r requirements-gw.txt instead. This uses a custom fork which contacts localhost:7878 instead and removes ratelimits and heartbeats.

3. You will need to add all emojis you want to Discord's App Emoji in the Dev Portal.

   If they aren't found there, they will be replaced with a placeholder.

   All emojis can be downloaded here.

4. Go inside of the config.py file and configure everything to your liking.

5. Run the bot with python bot.py.

6. Done!
