\page build-a-discord-bot-windows-wsl Building a Discord Bot on Windows Using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)
|
|
|
|
This tutorial teaches you how to create a lightweight environment for D++ development using **WSL** and **Visual Studio Code**
|
|
|
|
\note **This Tutorial will use WSL's default distribution, Ubuntu**! You can use other distros if you wish, **but keep in mind the setup process might be different!** If you're aiming for production, we recommend you continue your path of becoming the master of all Discord bots \ref buildcmake "by visiting this page", otherwise keep following this guide!
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have installed your WSL 2 environment properly using [this guide to setup up WSL](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and [this guide to connect to Visual Studio Code](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-vscode).
|
|
2. Now open PowerShell as Administrator and type `wsl` to start up your subsystem. You may also type `ubuntu` into your search bar and open it that way.
|
|
3. Head on over to your home directory using `cd ~`.
|
|
4. Download the latest build for your distro using `wget [url here]`. In this guide we will use the latest build for 64 bit Ubuntu: `wget -O libdpp.deb https://dl.dpp.dev/latest`.
|
|
5. Finally install all required dependencies and the library itself using `sudo apt-get install libopus0 libopus-dev libsodium-dev && sudo dpkg -i libdpp.deb && rm libdpp.deb`.
|
|
6. Congratulations, you've successfully installed all dependencies! Now comes the real fun: Setting up the environment! For this tutorial we'll use a as small as possible setup, so you might create a more advanced one for production bots.
|
|
7. Create a new directory, inside your home directory, using `mkdir MyBot`. Then, you want to open that directory using `cd MyBot`.
|
|
8. Now that you've a directory to work in, type `touch mybot.cxx` to create a file you can work in!
|
|
9. Now, head on over to Visual Studio Code. Press `CTRL+SHIFT+P` and type `Remote-WSL: New WSL Window` (You don't have to type all of it, it will auto-suggest it!). This will bring up a new window. In the new window, choose `open folder` and choose the directory you've created prior (It should be within your home directory). Press OK and now you have your Folder opened as a Workspace!
|
|
10. Add code to your CXX file (We suggest using the \ref firstbot "first bot page" if this is your first time!) and compile it by running `g++ -std=c++17 *.cxx -o bot -ldpp` in the same folder as your cxx file. This will create a "bot" file!
|
|
11. You can now start your bot by typing `./bot`!
|
|
|
|
If everything was done right, you should be able to see your bot working!
