2. Run npm init -y or yarn init -y
3. Add the CommandBot package

// npm
npm install commandbot@latest

4. Create index.js file
5. Import the CommandBot package

// CommonJS
const { Bot, Command } = require("commandbot");

// ES Modules (to use ESM add "type": "module" to your package.json file)
import { Bot, Command } from "commandbot";

6. Initialize the bot instance

const bot = new Bot({
    name: "YOUR_BOT_NAME",
    prefix: "BOT_PREFIX", // bot prefix (optional) (if undefined, only slash commands will be available)
    argumentSeparator: ",", // used to separate parameters from messages (optional)
    clientOptions: {
        intents: [..."DISCORD_API_INTENTS"],
    }, // Discord.js ClientOptions (optional)
    token: "DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN", // Discord bot token
    applicationId: "APPLICATION_ID", // Discord application ID used to register slash commands
});

7. Create and add commands to the Bot instance (see Commands)
8. Start your bot

bot.start(
    port, // If passed, the application will create a HTTP server
    true // If true, the app will register all slash commands in the Discord API (it's recommended setting it to false after registering to avoid reaching daily quota)
);
