Requirements
BryanBot is very easy to set up and use, but there are some requirements you need to meet before you can start using it.
Hosting
For hosting the bot, you will need a machine that can run Node.js. This can be your personal computer, a VPS, or a managed hosting service. For keeping the bot online 24/7, it is recommended to use a VPS or a managed hosting service.
The option that you choose needs to have Node.js installed on it. If you are going to use a VPS or personal computer, you can download Node.js from the official website. Managed hosting services usually come with Node.js pre-installed.
Recommended hosting services
We recommend using one of the following hosting services:
- Hetzner - affordable VPS hosting
- NovoNode - affordable managed hosting
- Sparked Host - user-friendly managed hosting
