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

Instructions

1. Clone/download the repository.

2. pip install -r requirements.txt (use venv if desired)

3. Download the emojis and upload them to "App Emojis" in Discord Dev Portal.

4. Setup your Postgres: (example instructions)

• createdb -U postgres -O cat_bot cat_bot
• psql -U cat_bot
• Copy-paste everything from schema.sql.

6. Configure the bot inside config.py file. Most things are optional. You can hardcode the values if you don't want to use environment variables.

7. Run the bot with python bot.py.
