Creating a bot account and setting it up for your server (guild)

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/discord.html
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/discord.html#inviting-your-bot (you don't have to add any specific permissions here, if you choose to add Send Messages permission manually for your channel)
Setting permissions (scroll down to Channel Permissions)

Configure and run
Set up three parameters (guild, token and channel) either using environment variables or using command line arguments.

"guild" is your Albion Online guild identifier (as seen in https://albiononline.com/en/killboard/guild/<ID>)
"token" is your bot token obtained in the previous step
"channel" is the Discord channel ID the bot will post messages into (check this article if you need to know how to obtain it)

You can always run ao_killboard.py --help to check the available options.
Running the bot manually using command line arguments
ao_killboard.py --guild <GUILD-ID> --token <DISCORD-TOKEN> --channel <123456789>

or, to enable debug logging:
ao_killboard.py --guild <GUILD-ID> --token <DISCORD-TOKEN> --channel <123456789> --debug

Replace the with their respective values, omitting angle brackets.
Running the bot using environment values and a batch script (Windows)
Paste the following into a file with a name like "start-bot.cmd":
@echo off
set AO_KILLBOARD_GUILD=<GUILD-ID>
set AO_KILLBOARD_TOKEN=<DISCORD-TOKEN>
set AO_KILLBOARD_CHANNEL=<123456789>
ao_killboard.py %*

Replace the with their respective values, omitting angle brackets. To enable debug logging, add set AO_KILLBOARD_DEBUG=1 before the last line.
Running the bot using environment values and a shell script (POSIX-like OS)
Paste the following into a file with a name like "start-bot.sh":
AO_KILLBOARD_GUILD=<GUILD-ID>
AO_KILLBOARD_TOKEN=<DISCORD-TOKEN>
AO_KILLBOARD_CHANNEL=<123456789>
exec ao_killboard.py "$@"

Replace the with their respective values, omitting angle brackets. Set the execute bit by running chmod +x start-bot.sh. To enable debug logging, add AO_KILLBOARD_DEBUG=1 before the last line.
Running the bot using Docker
docker run --rm -d --env 'AO_KILLBOARD_GUILD=<GUILD-ID>' --env 'AO_KILLBOARD_TOKEN=<DISCORD-TOKEN>' --env 'AO_KILLBOARD_CHANNEL=<123456789>' unresolvedexternal/ao-killboard

docker run --rm -d --env 'AO_KILLBOARD_GUILD=<GUILD-ID>' --env 'AO_KILLBOARD_TOKEN=<DISCORD-TOKEN>' --env 'AO_KILLBOARD_CHANNEL=<123456789>' --env 'AO_KILLBOARD_DEBUG=1' unresolvedexternal/ao-killboard
