-Shitty discord bot
\ No newline at end of file
+# discord_bot
+
+A modular discord bot written in javascript, using the [discord.js](https://discord.js.org) library.
+
+This is my second attempt at making a discord bot.
+
+The bot can be quite buggy at times, so be warned before trying it out.
+
+---
+
+To use the bot:
+
+```text
+git clone https://github.com/SileNce5k/discord_bot.git
+cd discord_bot
+npm install
+npm start
+```
+
+The first time you start the bot with `npm start`, it will create a directory called data with a config.json file.  
+In this file, enter your bot token.  
+You can also enter a login message, channel and enable it.  
+You can also change the global prefix.  
+You should enter you discord user id, so you can use the admin commands.
+Every time you want to change something in this file, you have to restart the bot.  
+
+If the config is ever changed, you need to either delete it and repeat the steps above or take a look at the util/createInitialConfig.js file
+
+Netload is a feature that enables the ability to upload .js files via discord to the bot.
+If you want this feature, you have to enable it in ./data/config.json.
+
+## Known issues
+
+None at the moment.
