# Installing Red
|
|
|
|
This guide will explain how to create an instance of [Red-DiscordBot]() (referred to as 'Red') on a Pterodactyl panel.
|
|
|
|
Running the bot on Pterodactyl is not required to use the Pterodactyl cog. If you already have a working instance of Red, you should look at [Getting Started](getting-started.md).
|
|
|

|
|
There are a few caveats to running an instance of Red on Pterodactyl.
|
|
|
|
- You will not receive any support from the Red developers.
|
|
- The built-in Audio cog will not work.
|
|
- Depending on your host, you might have to request a [`tmpfs` size increase](https://github.com/ign-gg/Pterodactyl-Eggs/tree/master/bots/discord/redbot#additional-requirements).
|
|
|
|
If these are unacceptable to you, you should [install Red normally](https://docs.discord.red/en/stable/install_guides/index.html).
|

|
|
- A Discord bot token (see [Creating a bot account](https://docs.discord.red/en/stable/bot_application_guide.html))
|
|
- A panel host with the [Red-DiscordBot Pterodactyl egg](https://github.com/ign-gg/Pterodactyl-Eggs/tree/master/bots/discord/redbot)
|
|
- A panel with support for server splitting, like [Bloom.host](https://bloom.host/)'s DuckPanel.

|
## Creating a Server Split
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to your host's server split option.
|
|
2. Select `Discord Bots` in the `Server Category` dropdown
|
|
3. Select `Red` in the `Server Type` dropdown
|
|
4. Allocate 1gb of RAM to Red. You can get away with less, but for the purposes of this guide we'll be using 1gb.
|
|
5. Allocate 5gb of storage space to Red.
|
|
6. Click the `Split Server` button. The installation process will take a few minutes, once it's done, continue to the next section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuring Startup Variables
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the `Startup` page of your new server split.
|
|
2. Enter in your bot token.
|
|
3. If you want to change the default prefix that the bot will respond to, do so here.
|
|
4. If you want to change the owner of the bot, you can do so here. This defaults to the owner of the application the bot user is from.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Inviting the Bot
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the `Console` page of your server split.
|
|
2. Click the `Start` button.
|
|
3. Click the Invite URL in your console, once the bot starts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Initial Setup
|
|
|
|
Red is quite a large bot, so I'll focus on the specifics of getting the bot working with my Pterodactyl cog specifically.

|
|
1. Load the `Downloader` cog.
|
|
```bash
|
|
[p]load downloader
|
|
```
|
|
2. Add my repository to the bot
|
|
```bash
|
|
[p]repo add sea-cogs https://www.coastalcommits.com/cswimr/SeaCogs
|
|
```
|
|
3. Install and load the Pterodactyl cog
|
|
```bash
|
|
[p]cog install sea-cogs pterodactyl
|
|
[p]load pterodactyl
|
|
```
|
|
