## About
discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the [Discord API](https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/intro) very easily.
It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code much tidier and easier to comprehend.
Usability and performance are key focuses of discord.js. It also has nearly 100% coverage of the Discord API.
## Installation
**Node.js 6.0.0 or newer is required.**
**Node.js 6.0.0 or newer is required.**
Without voice support: `npm install discord.js --save`
With voice support ([node-opus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-opus)): `npm install discord.js node-opus --save`
With voice support ([opusscript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/opusscript)): `npm install discord.js opusscript --save`
If both audio packages are installed, discord.js will automatically prefer node-opus.

The preferred audio engine is node-opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript.
The preferred audio engine is node-opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript. When both are available, discord.js will automatically choose node-opus.
Using opusscript is only recommended for development on Windows, since getting node-opus to build there can be a bit of a challenge.
For production bots, using node-opus should be considered a necessity, especially if they're going to be running on multiple servers.
