[Optional] To ensure that the process running the bot is highly available, it is advisable to use tools like supervisor
Refer to sample_supervisord.conf for sample configuration required to orchestrate the process running the bot through supervisor
Create a virtual environment and install the dependencies present in requirements.txt
Create a file titled .env in the folder containing the bot.py and add the following line to it-
DISCORD_TOKEN={your-bot's-token}
Once the virtual environment is activated and all the dependencies are installed, and the .env file is setup
Navigate to the discord-bot folder and execute the python script bot.py
python bot.py
Else if using supervisor, simply run -
sudo supervisorctl start discord_bot
