Neko is a lightweight and fast Discord bot developed by M1k1o. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Neko on Windows 11.
First, you need to download and install Node.js from their official website: https://nodejs.org/en/. Choose the appropriate version for your system and follow the installation instructions.
Next, you need to download the Neko source files from their GitHub repository: https://github.com/M1k1o/neko-discord-bot. You can either download a ZIP file or clone the repository using a Git command.
After downloading the source files, navigate to the project directory using the command prompt or Windows PowerShell.
Once you're in the project directory, type the following command to install all the required dependencies:
npm install
After installing the dependencies, you need to create a .env file in the project directory. This file will contain all the important settings for your bot, such as the Discord API token and the bot prefix.
Open the .env file in your text editor and add the following code:
BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here
BOT_PREFIX=your_bot_prefix_here
Replace your_bot_token_here with your actual Discord API token, and your_bot_prefix_here with your preferred bot prefix.
Save the .env file and close the text editor.
Finally, you can start the Neko bot by typing the following command in the command prompt or Windows PowerShell:
node bot.js
Congratulations, you've successfully installed Neko on your Windows 11 machine! You can now use the bot on your Discord server and tweak its settings as necessary.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
