How do I deploy a Discord bot to a VPS?

0

I wish to deploy this particular bot ( https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot ) to a VPS ( https://plox.host/ ). I have purchased a virtual server there and it is operational.

I am using Terminal on macOS. What exactly should I do to make the bot run 24*7??

What exact commands am I supposed to run to do steps 2/3/4? – Aragorn Telcontar – 2018-12-29T00:18:19.043

it depends on installed OS onto VPS. What is it? – A.Newgate – 2019-01-14T08:10:55.047

You need to read the README.md file in your link for the answer. Always read the readme file when you're jumping into something new.

And once the bot is running, it should run until something tells it not to.

I read the README.md, and it does not have any instructions for hosting the bot on a VPS. Edit: I did not downvote your answer. – Aragorn Telcontar – 2018-12-28T13:29:06.563

1@AragornTelcontar It doesn't specify a VPS because a VPS is just a virtual computer. You need to find the instructions for the OS that is on your VPS and follow those. – HazardousGlitch – 2018-12-28T13:49:20.823
