Updating the bot

1. Make a backup of your current bot directory in case of issues so you have the option to revert back.

2. Make sure not to delete your data directory otherwise you will lose important data such as stats, blacklisted users/roles and more.

3. Download the new release/files and replace the current files with the ones you downloaded.

4. If you already followed the installation process, you can use the latest config.yml.example you downloaded to manually add any new config options to your config.yml.

   Tip

   A lightweight option to easily update your config to the latest version is the compare plugin of the notepad++ program.

5. If any dependencies got updated, you will have to delete your node_modules directory and install the dependencies again after you’ve already uploaded the new files:

   npm install

6. Start the updated bot:

   npm start
