Installation

Trevand supports bots written in multiple languages. Here's how to set up your project.

Python (discord.py)

                                
                                    # requirements.txt

                                    discord.py==2.3.0

                                    aiohttp

                                    python-dotenv

                                    # main.py

                                    import discord

                                    from discord.ext import commands

                                    bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

                                    @bot.event

                                    async def on_ready():

                                        print(f'Logged in as {bot.user}')

                                    bot.run('YOUR_TOKEN')

JavaScript (discord.js)

                                
                                    // package.json

                                    {

                                      "dependencies": {

                                        "discord.js": "^14.0.0"

                                      }

                                    }

                                    // index.js

                                    const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

                                    const client = new Client({

                                      intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds]

                                    });

                                    client.once('ready', () => {

                                      console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);

                                    });

                                    client.login('YOUR_TOKEN');

Configuration

Configure your bot's settings through environment variables in the Trevand panel. Navigate to your server's Startup tab to set these values.

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Required
MAIN FILE	The entry point file to run your bot (e.g. `main.py` or `index.js`)	Yes
Git Access Token	Personal access token to pull your bot's code from a private Git repository	No
Database	Connection string for your own database (available as an add-on purchase)	No

Running Your Bot

Once your files are uploaded and environment variables are configured, you're ready to start your bot from the panel terminal.

Start Your Bot

Navigate to the Console tab in your panel. Click the Start button — the panel will automatically run the main file you configured in the Startup tab.

                                
                                    # Python example — runs automatically based on your MAIN FILE setting

                                    python main.py

                                    # Node.js example

                                    node index.js

You'll see your bot's output stream live in the console. Look for your bot's ready message to confirm it's online!

Restarting & Stopping

Use the Restart and Stop buttons in the Console tab to control your bot at any time. Your bot will automatically restart if it crashes, depending on your plan settings.

Your Bot is Live!

Once you see the ready log in the console, your bot is online and serving your Discord server. You can monitor uptime, memory, and CPU usage from the panel dashboard.
