- **Setting up the env file**

*If you go along with this, you can ignore the parts in the `Project Execution` that explain how to generate and fill in the `.env`*

1. For easy setup of the env file, ( `.env` ) you can run the command `npm run setup-env`
    2. Once you've ran the command, it generates a script in the console
    3. You need to then fill out the fields in the console. Fields marked with the text **"Required"** are you required fields and you need to fill those ones in. The script will not continue if you ignore to fill in those fields. 
    4. Once you've filled in the field, it will write those fields into and generate the `.env`.
    5. Alternatively, you can ignore this and fill in the fields yourself by viewing the `.example.env` file.
    6. You then should be good, and your `.env` should be setup.

- **Project Execution**

1. Rename the filed named `example.env` to `.env`
    2. Navigate to the `Bot` page on the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) and click `Reset Token`. Afterwards, create a `.env` file within the root directory.
    3. Paste your bot token into the `token` variable inside the `.env` file.
    4. Paste your [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com) connection string into the `mongodb` variable inside the `.env` file.
    5. Navigate to the `OAuth2` page and copy the `CLIENT ID`. 
    6. Paste your client ID into the `clientid` variable inside the `.env` file.
    7. Navigate to your discord server, enable developer mode and right click the dropdown beside the server name. 
    8. Click `Copy Server ID` and paste it into the `guildid` variable inside the `.env` file.
    9. Navigate to the `package.json` file and pay attention to the runnable commands listed under `scripts`.
    10. Open the terminal in [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) and install all necessary packages using `npm run setup`. This will install the dependencies and give you a brief install guide
    11. Open a new terminal and type `npm run start` to run the file without using **nodemon** or `npm run start:nodemon` to run the bot with nodemon.
    12. The bot should then turn online, you should be able to see this by the console logs that is setup upon start up

- **Runnable commands (scripts)**

**npm run start** - 
 This starts up the bot with the contents from the `.env` file. Essentially the same as running `node .`

**npm run setup-env** - 
 To run the setup of the `.env` file you can run the command `npm run setup-env`, this generates a script in the console that generates a `.env` file and where you fill out the fields with whats required for the `.env` file and it writes it in the file.
