Installing Go & DisGo

I hope you’ve installed The Go programming language before following this tutorial (?)

If you have, you can skip to here

But if you haven’t, I’ve got your back!

Installing Go

Follow the installation steps listed here

$ cd <your-bot-directory>

$ go mod init awesome-discord-bot

$ go get github.com/disgoorg/disgo

You should now have an empty project with a single go.mod file that looks like this

go.mod

module awesome-discord-bot

go 1.25.4
