Installations

We suggest you be familiar with discord.py and python. This is a Ticket Bot guide so it couldn't contain a lot of python explanations.

---

Installing discord.py

We need to install the library discord.py

If you are using Windows, then the following should be used instead:

py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py

If you are using another operating system or virtual machine go to this site.

Installing discord-components

We need to install the library discord-components

pip install --upgrade discord-components

if the above command does not work try this:

py -m pip install --upgrade discord-components

⚠️ If you meet an error No matching distribution found for discord-components when installing, try updating the python version! (It must be upper than 3.6)

Installing the bot

Create an Application

Before you're able to create a bot account to interact with the Discord API, you'll need to create a new OAuth2 application. Go to the Discord Developer Portal and click New Application at the top right of the page.

You'll then be prompted to enter a name for your application.

The name of your application will be the name displayed to users when they add your bot to their Discord server. With that in mind, it would be a good idea for your application name to match the desired name of your bot.

Enter your desired application name into the text box, then hit the Create button.

After you hit Create, you'll be taken to the application page for your newly created application.

That was easy, wasn't it?

Before you move on, you may want to upload an icon for your application and provide a short description of what your bot will do. As with the name of your application, the application icon and description will be displayed to users when adding your bot.

Add a Bot Account

Now that you have an application created, you'll be able to add a brand new bot account to it.

Head on over to the bot page of your application by clicking on Bot in the left panel. From there, click on the Add Bot button at the top right of the page.

Then confirm the creation of the bot account.

Invite Your Bot

Now that you have a bot account, you'll probably want to invite it to a server!

A bot account joins a server through a special invite link that'll take users through the OAuth2 flow; you'll probably be familiar with this if you've ever added a public Discord bot to a server. To get the invite link for your bot, head on over to the OAuth2 page of your application.

We'll be using the OAuth2 URL Generator on this page. Simply tick bot under the scopes panel; your bot invite link will be generated directly below.

By default, the generated link will not grant any permissions to your bot when it joins a new server. So make sure you give Administrator permission to the bot.

Get Bot Token

Head back to the bot page and click on Click to Reveal Token just above the Copy and Regenerate buttons to take a peek at your token.

⚠️ Handle your bot token with care! Anyone who has your token will have access to your bot account. Be sure to store it in a secure location and never give it to anybody. If you ever believe your token has been compromised, be sure to hit the Regenerate button (as seen above) to invalidate your old token and get a brand new token.
