kora is a multi-functional Discord bot designed for shared enjoyment. The program is written in Javascript, powered by Node.js, and extensively utilises the discord.js library for its framework. Additionally, it leverages the Discord Player library to provide advanced music player functionalities.
This guide outlines the steps to build your own Discord bot with the internals of kora on Windows. For other platforms, please refer to additional resources.
-
Create and set up a Discord bot following Discord's official Getting Started.

FFmpeg is used for media transcoding. Install and add its path to your user environment variables.

This program is powered by Node.js. Node.js v16.20.2 is used since later versions returned various errors.
-
Execute the following command to install dependencies:
npm i dotenv discord.js @discordjs/opus discord-player @discord-player/extractor ytdl-core- ytdl-core was chosen as the YouTube streaming library since it allows for additional parameters for better quality audio.

We have exciting plans for future updates to enhance this project. Keep an eye out for upcoming features, including:
- LLM/RAG Integration: We are planning to integrate Large Language Models (LLM) such as Llama2 or GPT for chat functionality. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is also being considered to provide user data to LLM, creating a more familiar environment without the need for retraining.
- Games: We are exploring games for users to play and engage with kora!
