• Open your terminal and use the following command: crontab -e

  • If you don't have crontab installed, install using

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install cron
  

  • After installing cron, make sure to start the service

  service cron start
  

• Press enter, a text file should open.

• At the bottom of the file, add the following line

@reboot python3 path/to/musicbot/main.py

• Press CTRL+S, then CTRL+X to save and exit
• Reboot your VM to see if the bot boots up (it might take a couple minutes)

sudo reboot
