Server Setup
1. Before we start - WHAT ARE DEPENDENCIES?
Dependencies are the tools and packages Aurora needs in order to function.
For this bot, the main ones are:
Python → runs the bot code
Download the ZIP from Github
Think of this as getting your workstation ready before launching the bot.
2. INSTALL PYTHON
Aurora is written in Python, so this is the most important install.
Go to the Python downloads page
Download the latest stable version of Python
Open the installer
VERY IMPORTANT:
Before clicking install, check the box that says: Add Python to PATH, then click Install Now
3. Get your bot Files
Download the ZIP from Github
4. CHECK THAT EVERYTHING IS READY
Before moving on, make sure:
Python works
Your files are extracted
You can open a terminal
Your server has internet access
If all of that works, you’re ready to download Aurora. EYYYYYYY
