SETUP.md

Setup

Make sure you have node 18.16.0 or later installed.

Code

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/mjfwebb/twitch-bot.git

Install Client modules

cd client
npm install

Install Server modules

cd server
npm install

Setup configuration files

Create a config.json and tokens.json in the server folder using the examples files.

Navigate to the server folder and copy the example files to create your configuration files:

cd server
cp ./example.tokens.json ./tokens.json
cp ./example.config.json ./config.json

Note that if you want to change the port the server runs on, you can do so in the config.json file. You must also change the value for VITE_BOT_SERVER in .env.development in the client folder.

Twitch developer account

Follow the instructions in the Twitch Developer Documentation to create a new application.

Make sure you update the redirect_uri in config.json to the same URI that you entered in the redirect_uri field of the Twitch app you created. We suggest your redirect_uri is set to http://localhost:3000.

You will need to create an application and generate a client ID and client secret which will need to be entered into the ``twitchsection of theconfig.json` file in the server folder. You can find more information about this in the Twitch configuration guide

Spotify developer account

Follow the instructions in the Spotify Developer Documentation to create a new application.

Make sure you update the redirect_uri in config.json to the same URI that you entered in the redirect_uri field of the Spotify app you created. We suggest your redirect_uri is set to http://localhost:3000.

You will need to create an application and generate a client ID and client secret which will need to be entered into the ``spotifysection of theconfig.json` file in the server folder. You can find more information about this in the Spotify configuration guide
