Basic Installation Information Missing, Unable to Start rhythm-bot

[mattzaharias]

Where are the contents from the zip file supposed to go? Do they go into a specific folder on your computer? I created a Rhythm-Bot-master folder inside my %username% folder and am trying to run npm start from there. All previous install steps appear to have completed successfully, but this is what I get when I run it:

c:\Users\Matt Zaharias\Rhythm-Bot-master>npm start

Ah, I believe I resolved the issue. I had to install VS 2015 at one point, and I also had to edit the bot.ts to change the promise to type < void > (get rid of the spaces, if I don't include them between the symbols and the word void, Github drops the entire word as though it is interpreting my typing in-line as code that it should act on. I'm entirely new to this (Python + Node.js + Discord Bots + Github) , but notepad++ and some intense Googling last night and this morning led me to the resolution. I would also recommend instructions on what permissions to assign/allow and how to add the bot to your server via oauth2 and such, or at least listing those steps and where to take them.

More precisely, Line 92 in bot.ts:
new Promise< void >(done => {

I specified < void > for the Promise and everything started running. Still can't !add any youtube/youtube music links, it seems, but I've got another thread/post going for that.

The promise issue should be resolved in the latest build among other issues.

Having to install VS is a curious part it shouldn't be needed, might be due to the build tools command I suppose.

Will have to set aside some time to update installation instructions at some point but that could be far off, this repo is more geared towards developers however.

To address the first part of the comments the files can go wherever but I'd recommend keeping it all contained within a folder which you can name what you like.
