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.
# Welcome!
Welcome to the discord.js v10 documentation.
v10 is just a more consistent and stable iteration over v9, and contains loads of new/improved features, optimisations, and bug fixes.
## Installation
**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.
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.
