.. code:: sh
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "py-cord[voice]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U py-cord[voice]
To install additional packages for speedup, run the following command:
.. code:: sh
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "py-cord[speed]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U py-cord[speed]
To install the development version, do the following:

.. code:: sh
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord
Optional Packages
* `PyNaCl <https://pypi.org/project/PyNaCl/>`__ (for voice support)

.. code:: py
import discord
bot = discord.Bot()
@bot.slash_command()
async def hello(ctx, name: str = None):
name = name or ctx.author.name
await ctx.respond(f"Hello {name}!")
@bot.user_command(name="Say Hello")
async def hi(ctx, user):
await ctx.respond(f"{ctx.author.mention} says hello to {user.name}!")
bot.run("token")
Traditional Commands Example
.. code:: py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">", intents=intents)
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send("pong")
bot.run("token")
You can find more code examples in the examples
directory.
Note: Make sure you do not reveal your bot token to anyone, as it can grant access to your bot.
