discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the [Discord API](https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/intro).

# Welcome!
Welcome to the discord.js v9 documentation. The v9 rewrite has taken a lot of time, but it should be much more
stable and performant than previous versions.

## Installation
**Node.js 6.0.0 or newer is required.**  
With voice support: `npm install --save discord.js --production`  
Without voice support: `npm install --save discord.js --production --no-optional`

By default, discord.js uses [opusscript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/opusscript) when playing audio over voice connections.
If you're looking to play over multiple voice connections, it might be better to install [node-opus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-opus).
discord.js will automatically prefer node-opus over opusscript.
