Building

System dependencies: go, (see go.mod for versioning info), though this should build fine on older versions (within reason) assuming the minimum requirement for the discordgo version defined in go.mod is met.

1. Clone the source, move to its directory.
2. go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo to pull the discordgo library
3. go build -ldflags="-s -w" in the source directory, the ldflags here strips the binary to reduce resource usage
4. After building, you should have a resulting iw4x-discord-bot binary, done!

Running

As this produces a single binary, it can simply be run as (preferably) part of a system service (it is service manager agnostic), or with a script, or in a tmux/screen session, or however else desired.

The environment variable IW4X_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN must be set- and should of course contain the token for the bot.
