.. ubuntu xenial install guide ============================== Installing Red on Ubuntu 16.04 ============================== .. warning:: For safety reasons, DO NOT install Red with a root user. Instead, `make a new one `_. ------------------------------- Installing the pre-requirements ------------------------------- .. code-block:: none sudo apt install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa sudo apt update sudo apt install python3.6-dev build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev git unzip default-jre wget -y wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py sudo python3.6 get-pip.py ------------------ Installing the bot ------------------ To install without audio: :code:`pip3.6 install -U --process-dependency-links red-discordbot --user` To install with audio: :code:`pip3.6 install -U --process-dependency-links red-discordbot[voice] --user` To install the development version (without audio): :code:`pip3.6 install -U --process-dependency-links git+https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot@V3/develop#egg=red-discordbot --user` To install the development version (with audio): :code:`pip3.6 install -U --process-dependency-links git+https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot@V3/develop#egg=red-discordbot[voice] --user` ------------------------ Setting up your instance ------------------------ Run :code:`redbot-setup` and follow the prompts. It will ask first for where you want to store the data (the default is :code:`~/.local/share/Red-DiscordBot`) and will then ask for confirmation of that selection. Next, it will ask you to choose your storage backend (the default here is JSON). It will then ask for a name for your instance. This can be anything as long as it does not contain spaces; however, keep in mind that this is the name you will use to run your bot, and so it should be something you can remember. ----------- Running Red ----------- Run :code:`redbot ` and run through the initial setup. This will ask for your token and a prefix.
