Steps to Install

Assuming you have the prerequisites installed, follow these steps to get started with the development of the project:

Further detailed instructions can be found in the development guide.

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/allthingslinux/tux && cd tux

2. Install the project's dependencies

   poetry install

3. Activate the virtual environment

   poetry shell

4. Install the pre-commit hooks

   pre-commit install

5. Generate the prisma client

   prisma generate

   Currently, you will need to have a Supabase database set up and the URL set in the DATABASE_URL environment variable.

   In the future, we will provide a way to use a local database. We can provide a dev database on request.

6. Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the required values.

   cp .env.example .env

   You'll need to fill in your Discord bot token here, as well as the Sentry DSN if you want to use Sentry for error tracking.

   We offer dev tokens on request in our Discord server.

7. Copy the config/settings.yml.example file to config/settings.yml and fill in the required values.

   cp config/settings.yml.example config/settings.yml

   Be sure to add your Discord user ID to the BOT_OWNER key in the settings file.

   You can also add your custom prefix here.

8. Start the bot!

   poetry run python tux/main.py

9. Run the sync command in the server to sync the slash command tree.

   {prefix}dev sync <server id>

Development Notes

Note

Make sure to add your Discord User ID to the sys admin list if you are testing locally.

Note

Make sure to set the Prisma schema database ENV variable to the DEV database URL.

Note

If you want to develop Tux using Docker Compose, we recommend using docker compose up --watch for hot reloading.
