Creating your sern bot	1

import GuideFeedback from "../../../../src/components/GuideFeedback";

Creating a bot with sern is a piece of cake, trust me! As discussed in the npm create command chapter, we're going to be using that awesome tool to set sern up.
So, what are we waiting for? Let's get started!

Open up a terminal in your failed projects directory. Then, type the following command:

npm create @sern/bot

After installing the package, prompts will show up on your terminal. Neat!

Prompt walkthrough

First, choose a template. In this guide we'll be using the js-esm template.

• js means Javascript.
• esm means ECMAScript Modules. ESM provides a better developer experience than the old CommonJS, so

const { Sern, makeDependencies, single } = require('@sern/handler');

would turn to

import { Sern, makeDependencies, single } from '@sern/handler';

:::info We primarily use Typescript but to make the tutorial easier Javascript will be used. :::

Then, choose a project. This one should be lowercase with dashes and/or underscores (aka kebab-case or snake_case).

In the package manager prompt, select Yarn

And you're done... with that. See you in the next chapter, where you'll get your discord bot token!
