A small tutorial on how to install and run Red on OS X
1. Install brew (if you don't have it already)
In Finder or Spotlight, search for and open terminal
In the window opened - paste this:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
and press enter
2. After the installation, install required packages, by pasting commands below and pressing enter one-by-one
brew install python3
brew install git
brew install ffmpeg
brew install opus
pip3 install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@async
pip3 install youtube_dl
pip3 install beautifulsoup4
pip3 install imgurpython
3. Goto the folder you want to put red in through Terminal:
use the commands cd (change directory) and ls (list sh*t) to navigate to the folder.
for example, if you want Red to be installed in Applications in a folder named Discord Stuff,
you could type cd "Applications/Discord Stuff" (notice, if you have a space in a folder name, surround the path with quotes)
or you could type cd Applications then ls to make sure you're in the right place, then cd "Discord Stuff"
or you could type cd then drag the folder from finder into terminal before pressing enter
4. Paste this command into terminal and press enter:
git clone -b develop --single-branch https://github.com/Twentysix26/Red-DiscordBot.git Red-DiscordBot
do not close the termial windows afterwards
5. Download http://bit.ly/1RuLzeI and place the file inside your Red-DiscordBot folder,
it should be in the same folder with red.py
TODO: replace this step with putting opus in your path?
6. Open TextEdit or any other plain text editor you have installed
navigate to Red-DiscordBot and there into cogs folder
open audio.py
replace this code:
discord.opus.load_opus('libopus-0.dll')
with this code:
discord.opus.load_opus('/usr/local/Cellar/opus/1.1.2/lib/libopus.0.dylib')
TODO: set file as executable if needed?
7. In terminal, in Red-DiscordBot floder, paste this command and press enter:
sh macRedLoop.sh
8. Complete initial setup as the bot requires (email, password, etc.)
remember to sign into the bot's account once and join your main server.
This is the only time you will need to sign into the bot's account.
9. Type [your_prefix_here]ping on your server (in any chat a bot can write to)
your bot should return "pong"
