## Run the Example

<Snippet file="create-venv-step.mdx" />

**1. Install dependencies**

```bash theme={null}
uv pip install -U agno openai requests
```

**2. Export environment variables**

```bash Mac/Linux theme={null}
export DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN="your_discord_bot_token_here"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
```

```bash Windows theme={null}
$Env:DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN="your_discord_bot_token_here"
$Env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"
```

**3. Configure the Discord bot and IDs**

Create a Discord application and bot. Enable the Message Content privileged intent in the bot settings, then install the bot in the target server with the `bot` scope and View Channels, Send Messages, and Read Message History permissions. Grant Manage Messages only if you enable deletion. Enable Developer Mode in Discord, then replace `YOUR_CHANNEL_ID` and `YOUR_SERVER_ID` in the saved Python file with IDs copied from that server.

**4. Run the example**

Save the code above as `discord_tools.py`, then run:

```bash theme={null}
python discord_tools.py
```
