Requirements
Required PyPI packages (run each with pip install)
Note: On Windows you will have to write python -m pip instead of pip at the beginning of pip install commands
Note: as of 2023-10-23, discord.py seems to not install properly for Python 3.11 and above.
The fix we've found is to first install the beta version of package aiohttp separately (aiohttp==3.9.0b0).
Please use the requirements files (pip install -r):
Python 3.10 and below:
(python -m) pip install -r requirements.txt
Python 3.11 and above:
(python -m) pip install -r requirements-new-python.txt
