Quick start guide

This guide will help you to quickly start developing a new bot using zumito-framework.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)

• Git

Setup

1. Create a new project

   Command Line

   Wizard

2. Start the bot

   npm run dev

It will clone the template project, install the dependencies and configure the .env file by asking you some questions.

Database config will be saved to the .env file. You can change it later if you want.

• Tingodb is recommended for development since it doesn’t require any external database, it will save the data in a file.
• MongoDB is recommended for production for better performance.
