Installation

Requirements

Since this is an audio playing Discord bot, there are obviously some non-python requirements.

• Python 3.6 +. This is avaible on Windows easily and it is also avaible on Mac via Homebrew. Also most Linux distros now either ship with 3.6 or have an easy way to get it, like SCL for RedHat based distros.

• A SXM account with access to online streaming (not just a car radio account)

• A Discord server with a Bot Application set up on it. You will need the “Bot Token”

• ffmpeg for actually decoding and playing the HLS streams from SXM

• As a requirement from the Python Discord library: libffi, libnacl, python3-dev
