Installing from a .deb file (Debian, Ubuntu, and Derivatives)

To install D++ on a system from .deb using dpkg (as root):

apt install wget
wget -O dpp.deb https://dl.dpp.dev/
dpkg -i dpp.deb

This will do the following three things:

• Install wget
• Use wget to download the latest release of D++ to dpp.deb
• Install dpp.deb to /usr

You will now be able to use D++ by including its library on the command line:

g++ mybot.cpp -o mybot -ldpp

Note

Compiling your bot with a raw `g++` command is not advised in any real project, and the example above should be used only as a test. From here, you should learn to create a bot in D++ by moving on to Building a Discord Bot Using CMake (UNIX) or if you have not yet created a token for your bot, Creating a Bot Token - If you are having trouble setting up CMake, you can try our template cmake bot project.
