Installing our products on Windows is generally not recommended, due to how closed the system is. We recommend using a Linux-based system for better compatibility and performance, or using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to run a Linux environment on Windows.

📥 Installation

Follow these steps to install and run the bot on your Windows systemm:
1

Download the Bot

Download the bot’s ZIP file from the marketplace you have bought the bot. The only marketplace’s you should trust are listed below:

Our website

BuiltByBit

If you have bought our product from another marketplace other than the listed above, you may have been scammed and should immediately ask for a refund. (this does not apply to Plex Tickets bought in CodeFling, in which case you must create a ticket to transfer your license)
2

Unzip the Bot

Unzip the file into a folder of your choice. Ensure the folder is in an accessible location, such as C:\Bots\YourBotName.
3

Open Command Prompt

Open the Command Prompt by searching for “cmd” in the Start menu and clicking on it. Then, navigate to your bot’s directory using the cd command. For example:
cd C:\Bots\YourBotName
4

Modify the config file

Open the config.yml file in a text editor such as Visual Studio Code or Notepad++, and configure the bot from there. Once all changes have been made, save the file and close your text editor.
5

Install Node.js Modules

Install the Node.js modules required for the bot by running:
npm install
This will install all necessary dependencies as listed in the package.json file, which allows the bot to start up.
6

Start the Bot

After completing the config file and installed the Node.js modules required for the bot, run the bot with the following command:
node index.js
Check the terminal output to ensure the bot starts without errors.
…and you’re done! By following this guide, your bot should be up and running in no time. For additional help, feel free to reach out to Plex Development’s support team on Discord.
