1. WHAT DOES “CLONE” MEAN?

  • Cloning a repo means downloading a copy of the project from GitHub to your own computer or server.

    This gives you:

    • the code

    • the folder structure

    • the general files you need to run the bot

2. COPY YOUR GITHUB REPO LINK

3. Ensure you have selected a file location for aurora to live

  • Go to the place where you want Aurora to live.

    • For example, “C:\Bots”

  • If the folder doesn’t exist yet, create it before moving to the next step.

4. OPEN COMMAND PROMPT OR POWERSHELL to CLONE THE REPOSITORY

5. CHECK THAT THE FILES DOWNLOADED

You should see files like:

  • bot.py

  • requirements.txt

  • config files

  • module folders

If you see your project files, the clone worked. LET’S GOOOOOOO (If not, message me)

Quick Recap - what did we do?

  • Copied the GitHub repo link

  • Downloaded Aurora to the server
