Installation

Askilator is currently in BETA. While it is already operating in a few high-traffic servers there is always room for improvement. However all future changes should happen without data loss.

Askilator also has a hosted variant which is currently available on request while in BETA. Requesting Askilator to be in your server can be done in the Single-Purpose Bots Discord (in Askilator's #request channel).

Step-by-step

• First of all clone the github repository (private in BETA) to a folder of your choice.

• Run npm install in the root directory, all the necessary packages should get installed with that.

• Rename config-example.json to config.json and fill in necessary data.

• Set up your database with setup.sql in db folder.

• Start Askilator with the node askilator.js command.

Always online

It is possible to run Askilator 24/7 and have it restart on crash/error, this can be done through the pm2 package. It will monitor and restart the bot on crash, plus a few other things found in the earlier link.

• Install PM2 globally with npm install pm2@latest -g.

• Run Askilator through PM2 with pm2 start askilator.js --name "Askilator".
