Getting started
Before we can get started coding our bot we are going to need a couple things
Programs
Node.js
First off, we need to install nodejs, it is the programming language we are going to be using to code our bot
Install nodejs here, for the best results, I suggest the current release over the LTS release for the most up to date stuff.
To check if you have installed nodejs, open a terminal or command prompt and type in
$ node -v
tip
For the best results, make sure you're nodejs version is higher than 16
IDE
Although you can just use notepad, I would highly recommend installing an IDE
Some good ones are
- Visual Studio Code Recommended
- Atom deprecated
- Sublime
