This was removed long ago from the Windows guide (#4119) but it seems like we never got around to removing it from Unix install guides as well. This note is rather inaccurate and the source of truth for updating Red is available in the Updating Red document.

Installing Red
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Choose one of the following commands to install Red.
|
|
|
|
To install without additional config backend support:
|
|
|
|
.. prompt:: bash
|
|
:prompts: (redenv) $
|
|
|
|
python -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
|
|
python -m pip install -U Red-DiscordBot
|
|
|
|
Or, to install with PostgreSQL support:
|
|
|
|
.. prompt:: bash
|
|
:prompts: (redenv) $
|
|
|
|
python -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
|
|
python -m pip install -U "Red-DiscordBot[postgres]"
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Setting Up and Running Red
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
After installation, set up your instance with the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. prompt:: bash
|
|
:prompts: (redenv) $
|
|
|
|
redbot-setup
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
Once done setting up the instance, run the following command to run Red:
|
|
|
|
.. prompt:: bash
|
|
:prompts: (redenv) $
|
|
|
|
redbot <your instance name>
|
|
|
|
It will walk through the initial setup, asking for your token and a prefix.
|
|
You can find out how to obtain a token with
|
|
`this guide <../bot_application_guide>`.
|
|
|

If it's the first time you're using Red, you should check our `getting-started` guide
|
|
that will walk you through all essential information on how to interact with Red.
