Creating and inviting a bot

To start, this documentation by discordpy explains the procedure to create and invite a discord bot to your guild.

Installing discord.py

As we are using discord.py for the bot, installation instructions for the same can be found in their README.

Running the bot

First, create a .env file inside /src/ directory and store the following:

# .env
DISCORD_TOKEN={enter-your-discord-token}
DISCORD_GUILD={enter-your-guild-name}

After that change the LOAD_PATH= line in discord_bot.py to your PyTorchModel's (the BentoML model) latest path.

After entering the above information, run the following command:

python3.6 discord_bot.py

Your bot will start executing! Go to your guild and type something beginning with the magic command $tag to call your bot.
