Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

# Optional: Channel ID to restrict bot to specific channel
# Leave empty to respond in all channels
# CHANNEL_ID=1234567890123456789

Important: Replace YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN_HERE with your actual Discord bot token.

3. Get Your Discord Bot Token

1. Go to Discord Developer Portal
2. Create a new application or select an existing one
3. Go to the "Bot" section
4. Click "Reset Token" or "Copy" to get your bot token
