### Reporting Bugs / Suggesting Features
If you're having issues with the bot or you would like to suggest a new feature, please consider opening a new bug report thread on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/Davoleo/curse-updates/issues).

### Inviting the original version of this bot.
Please if you use and appreciate this bot consider supporting me on Patreon or Paypal, incomes help me to pay the hosting prices of my VPS, so any donated amount is greatly appreciated!
Also note that the bot could still be a bit unstable, if you encounter some bugs please take some time to report them on my issue tracker.
The original version of this bot runs on my VPS, you can invite this version of the bot via [this link](https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=658271214116274196&permissions=537193552&scope=bot). 

### Running your own version of this bot (Self-Hosting)
If you want to self-host this discord bot you can do so by following these steps:<br>
- Download/Clone the project sources from Github _(the green button)_
- Create a new `config.json` file in the `src/data` directory
- Fill `config.json` with this template replacing the dummy data with your configuration options:
```json
{
  "token": "<Your Application Token>",
  "devMode": false
}
```
_you should replace the discord client token to start the bot with your own (you can get one in the Discord Applications dev portal)_
_devMode is a boolean that disables some stuff and sets a special status activity when you set it to <true>_
- Open a terminal in the main directory of the bot and run this command to compile typescript files: `npm run build`
- To actually start the bot run `npm run bot` in the same directory
- Invite the bot to your server and enjoy :)
