|
|
1. Open a command prompt (open Start, search for "command prompt", then click it)
|
|
2. Run the appropriate command, depending on if you want audio or not
|
|
* No audio: :code:`python -m pip install Red-DiscordBot`
|
|
* Audio: :code:`python -m pip install Red-DiscordBot[voice]`
|
|
3. Once that has completed, run :code:`redbot-setup` to set up your instance
|
|
* This will set the location where data will be stored, as well as your
|
|
storage backend and the name of the instance (which will be used for
|
|
running the bot)
|
|
4. Once done setting up the instance, run :code:`redbot <your instance name>` to run Red.
