# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py-fork-vvc[voice]

Please note that i will not fork this package and do not plan on doing so.

, dnf
, etc) before running the above commands:
- libffi-dev (or
libffi-devel
on some systems) - python-dev (e.g.
python3.6-dev
for Python 3.6)
import discord
class MyClient(discord.Client):
async def on_ready(self):
print('Logged on as', self.user)
async def on_message(self, message):
# don't respond to ourselves
if message.author == self.user:
return
if message.content == 'ping':
await message.channel.send('pong')
client = MyClient()
client.run('token')
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
