Installing NeonLink on Arch Linux

NeonLink is a modular Discord bot that can be used for various purposes. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing NeonLink on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that your system is up-to-date by running the command:

sudo pacman -Syu

You will also need a Discord account and server to test your NeonLink installation. If you don’t have one, create a new account and server.

Installing NeoLink Dependencies

To install NeonLink, first, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install the necessary packages:

sudo pacman -S python python-pip

This command will install Python and pip, the package manager for Python.

Installing NeoLink

Now we will clone the NeonLink repository from GitHub. Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to download the repository:

cd /path/to/neonlink-repo

Next, clone the repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/AlexSciFier/neonlink.git

This will download the NeonLink source code to the current directory.

Once the repository has been cloned, install the required Python packages by running the following command:

cd neonlink
pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally, create a file named config.json in the neonlink directory, and paste the following code:

{
    "token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE",
    "prefix": "!",
    "modules": {
        "core": {}
    }
}

Replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE with your Discord bot’s token.

Testing NeonLink

To test your NeonLink installation, run the following command in the neonlink directory:

python neon.py

Your NeonLink bot should start up and log in to your Discord server. You can now invite the bot to your server and interact with it using various commands.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed NeonLink on Arch Linux! The bot is now ready to use on your Discord server. Explore its features and customize the bot to your liking.
