setup

Note: master is the live branch; all active development will take place on dev.

pre flight checklist

on the discord website

• do the application setup and all that stuff
• set up oauth or let it run loose

here in ground control

• download and install node if you haven't already
• set up default.yaml using your bot token (example config)
• maybe look at the other settings?

deployment

• run npm install, or npm install --production or npm ci --only=production if you're not planning on doing any code changes
• run npm start, or npm run forever for production; see pm2 docs for further configuration options
  • due to the fact npx prefers system commands, if you want to add config to the process (eg log rotation) you should install pm2 globally beforehand. how convenient for you!
• pray to whatever god that it doesn't nuke your computer
