Eris Tutorial

As described in the title, this is a basic tutorial for the Eris library. This will cover usage, data structures used, and so on. This will not cover how to create an application, nor how to use basic functions within Node.js - that is considered to be prerequisite knowledge. If you are not familiar with Node.js, Javascript, or promises, then read some tutorials before attempting this.

What you will need

• Node.js v4.x.x or higher
• A suitable text editor (Sublime, Atom, etc.)
• Intermediate experience with Node.js and Javascript
• Basic working knowledge of promises

Installation

Eris is hosted on npm, so installation is simple.
npm install --no-optional eris

You can also install an in-development version of Eris.
npm install --no-optional eris#dev

If you require voice support, remove the --no-optional tag.
