Invite the bot
Click Add to Discord, pick your server, and leave the permissions checked — there is no Administrator. — Add to Discord.
Setup
Install Ryven
Invite the bot, leave the suggested permissions, then do the 3 basic settings: prefix, language, log channel. Slash (/help) and prefix (?help) both work.
Place the role
In Discord → Server Settings → Roles, put Ryven’s role above the roles it must moderate or log.
First command
Type /help or ?help. Both work. Slash commands appear as soon as Ryven joins the server.
Permissions to keep on invite
The link does not ask for Administrator. If you uncheck a box, the related feature stops.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| View channels · Send messages · History · Embeds · Files | Commands, logs, rank cards, image filters, Monster Keeper. |
| Manage Server | Invite tracking only. No name, icon or settings changes. |
| Kick · Ban · Moderate members | Kick, ban and mute (Discord timeout, max 28 days). |
| Connect · Speak · Use Voice Activity | Music. Without it, play cannot join voice. |
Slash and prefix
Ryven registers / commands globally on startup. When it joins a server, Discord shows them on its own — no extra setup. The invite already includes the applications.commands scope.
- Type / in a channel: you should see /help, /logs, /start, etc.
- The prefix (default ?) works in parallel, e.g. ?help.
- If slash commands do not show up right away, wait a minute or two, or restart Discord. Also check that the invite kept the commands scope.
Basic settings
You can do everything from Discord (Manage Server permission) or from the dashboard.
| What | Command | Dashboard |
|---|---|---|
| Prefix (default ?) | /setprefix · ?setprefix ! |
Configuration tab → Prefix |
| Language FR / EN (Discord) | /setlang · ?setlang fr / en |
Configuration tab → Language |
| Log channel | /setlog · /logs · ?setlog #logs |
Configuration tab → Channel + modules |
After install checklist
- The bot shows as online in the member list.
- /help and ?help reply in a channel.
- A #logs channel (or similar) is selected and the global logger is ON.
- The bot role is high enough for timeout / kick if you want moderation.
- For music: the bot can join members’ voice channels.
Next step
Set up the log channel — it is the most useful day to day.
