I remember watching your videos when I got into python and coding and decided to make a discord bot as a first project, lovely to see you still at it keep it up my guy!

wow actually an person that explains something with inner peace and explaining exactly what hes doing, god im thankful i found you

[anon]

If you are getting an error such as:
File env\Scripts\Activate.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system
At the begging of this tutorial when setting up the bot in Virtual Studio Code, below is a tutorial on how to fix the error.

The instuctions from that tutorial are listed below.

There is an easy work around but you have to have Administrator access on the account that you are using on your PC.

-Open PowerShell as Administrator
-Type the command "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List"
This will bring up a list of execution policies and their current status, at the very bottom of the list, it may say undefined or restricted
-Type the command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted"
A popup will open asking if you would like to continue in powershell
-Type "Y" to continue
-Type the command "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List"
This will show the new set of execution policies and their current status.

for anyone having trouble in the terminal and it not working, try to select the cmd terminal instead of powershell by clicking on the drop down arrow next to "powershell" on the right and select command prompt. hope this works for you!

NOTE: If "python" is not a recognised command (even though you downloaded/installed python), you need to go to your "control panel > system > advanced system settings > environment variables " and edit the "Path" variable to also include the folder where you installed python (that contains the python executable).
