Holiday Event Bot for Discord

Adding to your Discord server

Public

The easiest way to add CandyBot to your Discord server is to click here. This will add the current version of CandyBot to a server you have permission to add bots to.

CandyBot requires the permissions Manage Server and Manage Messages. The above link should provide these. Without them, it will not function correctly.

Private

You can host CandyBot yourself to have a private version of the bot.

Requirements:

Python 3.7+
SQLite 3.24+

To run CandyBot yourself:

• Download a version of CandyBot here.
• If you want to run CandyBot from a different folder from where you extracted the ZIP, you can run build/package.py to generate another ZIP which just contains everything needed to run the bot (which you can then extract somewhere else).
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install everything the bot needs to run.
• Run dbscripts/create.py to create an empty database for CandyBot to use.
• Create a file called token which contains the Discord token for your bot.
• Start CandyBot with python candybot!

For Developers

• You run CandyBot locally (ie. without a connection with Discord) by running python candybot local. This makes development much easier.
• I recommend using PyCharm as an IDE. If you choose to do so, the full configuration is stored in the repo, so you just need to open the project and it should be ready out of the box.
• Any pull requests should be targeting develop.
