# S4D Guide

First you need to install discord.js 13v by doing this in shell!

```
npm i discord.js@latest
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If in package.json file you already have  got `discord.js  13v` then ignore above.
{% endhint %}

## Installing NodeJS 16v on Replit

Discord.JS v13 requires NodeJS v16 or newer

On replit got to shell tab to execute the command.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Not in Console.
{% endhint %}

```
npm i --save-dev node@16 && npm config set prefix=$(pwd)/node_modules/node && export PATH=$(pwd)/node_modules/node/bin:$PATH
```

After you are done with this,

Execute this to clean npm cache and reinstall the package in the shell

```
rm -rf node_modules && rm package-lock.json && npm cache clear --force && npm cache clean --force && npm i
```

* [ ] Now on replit make a new file named - .replit
* [ ] To execute node from the shell instead of the console.
* [ ] Put this in the .replit file

```
run="npm start"
```

Make sure to add the start script and other scripts in your package.json file

```
"scripts": {
 "start": "node .",
  "node-update": "npm i --save-dev node@16 && npm config set prefix=$(pwd)/node_modules/node && export PATH=$(pwd)/node_modules/node/bin:$PATH",
  "node-clean": "rm -rf node_modules && rm package-lock.json && npm cache clear --force && npm cache clean --force && npm i"
}
```
