Can't start bot.

[Matthaeus07]

When I want to start the bot with 'node .' it says:

'$ node . C:\Users*myuser*\Documents\musicbot\discord-music-bot\node_modules\slash-create\lib\ creator.js:31 throw new Error('An application ID must be defined!'); ^

Error: An application ID must be defined! at new SlashCreator (C:\Users*myuser\Documents\musicbot\discord-music-bot\node_ modules\slash-create\lib\creator.js:31:19) at Object.

I also experienced the same error. I'm running this program on a fresh Ubuntu installation. I can only assume something's going wrong with slash-create? I think that it's supposed to draw the information in .env. I made sure that I filled in all the blanks in that text file (I copied the original .env.example and modified it, as instructed). In any case, I've also attached my error message.

MyUser@PCName:~$ node discord-music-bot
/home/MyUser/node_modules/slash-create/lib/creator.js:31
            throw new Error('An application ID must be defined!');
            ^

I also have this issue? anyone know how to solve it?

It looks like I was missing a few things. I forgot to install the sodium/tweetnacl/libsodium-wrappers for discordjs/voice. Anyway, in order to install these, make sure you have node-gyp, autoconf, and automake. You will additionally need fluent-ffmpeg and ytdl-core to run the bot. I believe I may have also been missing opusscript.

Basically, I was missing a ton of stuff deep into the dependencies. Hope this can get everyone back on track!
