[:- Requirements -:]

* node.js (confirmed working with node.js version 10.15.3) and npm
* a Discord bot & token (web search: creating a discord bot & getting a token)
* Corrade or above (confirmed working with version 11.0.286.368)
  * Corrade must have the MQTT server enabled and running
    (Nucleus->Configuration->(Tick Advanced)->Servers->MQTT (do not enable compression)

Two programs will have to be running: Corrade and the bridge program (this 
one), at all times for the messages to be relayed between SecondLife and
Discord.

Setting up Corrade is wholely documented on the Wizardry and Steamworks Corrade page.
Node.JS and npm can be installed for each Linux distribution and for Windows from 
official sources.

In the directory containing this document issue the command:

npm install

in order to install dependencies for this program.

Next, copy the file "config.yml.dist" to "config.yml" and edit "config.yml" to
change the settings such that they match the Corrade settings.

[:- Running -:]

For a test run, execute:

node main.js

and follow the console messages. If everything went well, the program will 
announce that it has connected to Discord and to the Corrade MQTT server.

[:- Linux: Running as a Service -:]

Copy the file from "contrib/linux/corrade-group-discord-bridge.service" to 
"/etc/systemd/system/" and edit it to configure parameters matching your
system.

Issue the command:

systemctl enable corrade-group-discord-bridge.service

to enable the service.

Then issue:

systemctl start corrade-group-discord-bridge.service

The service will be restarted in case it crashes and will also restart after 
reboots.
