Dischord
A simple, easy-to-deploy Discord music bot written in go
Supports YouTube, Spotify and hundreds of other sites using youtube-dl
Setup
Windows
Download .exe from releases
Preparations
After you're done downloading, I would recommend putting the executable into a new folder so your downloads don't get too cluttered, since a few more files will be created upon running the executable.
Initial setup / running the .exe
To start the program, simply double click the .exe. This will bring up a command
window saying it will have to first download a few additional programs. After
it's finished downloading, edit the newly generated config.toml file and
replace the text after token = with your Discord bot token, leaving the
surrounding "". After editing, the line should look something like this:
token = "dmMpDY4K8dFyqMoypaZg3QXP.QUp5Sg.e7VQhRpEfud6SajSvyFZpxZpVwwBrwNYr2L3m7"
Now if you start the .exe again, it should just work.
MacOS
Download the executable from releases
- Apple silicon (newer models)
- Intel hardware (untested) (slightly older models)
Preparations
After you're done downloading, I would recommend putting the executable into a new folder so your downloads don't get too cluttered, since a few more files will be created upon running the executable.
In order to run the program, you will need to enable opening a terminal in the current folder. To do so, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Services and enable Files and Folders -> New Terminal at Folder and New Terminal Tab at Folder.
Initial setup / running the executable
Navigate to the folder containing your executable, right-click and select
Services -> New Terminal at Folder. In the command
window that opens up, type chmod +x dischord-macos-* and hit Enter (you
will only need to do this once).
Then, to run the executable, type ./dischord-macos-* and hit Enter.
On the first run, it will download a few additional programs.
When it's done, open the newly generated config.toml file with a text editor
and replace the text after token = with your Discord bot token, leaving the
surrounding "". After editing, the line should look something like this:
token = "dmMpDY4K8dFyqMoypaZg3QXP.QUp5Sg.e7VQhRpEfud6SajSvyFZpxZpVwwBrwNYr2L3m7"
Done! Now you can just run the executable and everything should work.
Linux
Download the executable from releases
Preparations
After you're done downloading, I would recommend putting the executable into a new folder so your downloads don't get too cluttered, since a few more files will be created upon running the executable.
Initial setup / running the executable
First, cd into the executable's directory.
Then, run chmod +x dischord-linux-* to make the file executable.
Run the executable with ./dischord-linux-*.
On the first run, it will download youtube-dl and FFmpeg if they aren't
already installed on your system (for example through your package manager).
When it's done, open the newly generated config.toml file with a text editor
and replace the text after token = with your Discord bot token, leaving the
surrounding "". After editing, the line should look something like this:
token = "dmMpDY4K8dFyqMoypaZg3QXP.QUp5Sg.e7VQhRpEfud6SajSvyFZpxZpVwwBrwNYr2L3m7"
Done! Now you can just run the executable and everything should work.
From source
After installing go, you can simply run the makefile to build a native binary.
In case you are using a non-Linux OS, you will have to manually install youtube-dl and FFmpeg first before being able to run the bot.
