Installing from AUR (Arch Linux)

To install D++ from AUR, follow the steps below (as root):

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dpp.git
cd dpp
makepkg -si

or use your favorite package manager:

# example with `yay` (without root)
yay -Sy dpp

This will do the following three things:

• Clone the D++ AUR repository to a directory called dpp
• Change into the directory dpp
• Make a pacman package from the AUR repository for D++, and install it

You will now be able to use D++ by including its library on the command line:

g++ mybot.cpp -o mybot -ldpp

Note

Compiling your bot with a raw g++ command is not advised in any real project, and the example above should be used only as a test. From here, you should learn to create a bot in D++ by moving on to Building a Discord Bot Using CMake (UNIX) or if you have not yet created a token for your bot, Creating a Bot Token - If you are having trouble setting up CMake, you can try our template cmake bot project.
