Configuring variables on *nix

You will need to create a Discord bot account for your hubot and then invite the bot to the channels you wish it to be present in. This bot account is created following the instructions below the table.

% export HUBOT_DISCORD_TOKEN="..."
% export HUBOT_MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH="2000"

Environment Variable	Description	Example
HUBOT_DISCORD_TOKEN	bot token for your oauth hubot	MMMMMMMM
HUBOT_DISCORD_STATUS_MSG	Status message to set for "currently playing game"	/help for help

The OAuth token can be created for an existing bot by navigating to here, the discord developer application dashboard and creating a new application. After creating the application, you will need to create a bot application and show then copy the bot token.

Launching your hubot

cd /path/to/mybot
./bin/hubot -a discord
