    - Windows (cmd): `.venv/bin/activate.bat`
    - Windows (PowerShell): `.venv/bin/activate.ps1`
6. Install requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

## Upgrading

### Upgrading from release

Installing over the older version is not supported. Fresh installation is necessary to prevent data corruption.

1. Make a backup of the project's directory. Some of the old files will be reused
2. Follow the [Installation from release](#installation-from-release) from the beginning and stop before 7th step
3. Copy file `config.json` and directory `data` from the backup you made into the new installation's directory
4. While still in the virtual environment, migrate the database: `python main.py --migrate`

After these steps are performed, the bot is ready to be started and used.

### Upgrading from source

1. Make a backup of the project's directory
2. Go to the project's directory
3. Update the project: `git pull`
4. Activate the virtual environment:
    - Linux: `source .venv/bin/activate`
    - Windows (cmd): `.venv/bin/activate.bat`
    - Windows (PowerShell): `.venv/bin/activate.ps1`
5. Migrate the database: `python main.py --migrate`

After these steps are performed, the bot is ready to be started and used.

## Usage

1. Invite the bot to your server with permissions `137707834448` and `applications.commands` scope.  
   You can also use the following URL template to invite your bot after replacing `CLIENT_ID` with you bot's client
   ID:  
   `https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&permissions=137707834448&integration_type=0&scope=applications.commands+bot`
2. Go to "Server Settings > Integrations > QuizBot" and disable access to admin commands for you default role.  
   Only admins should have access to following commands: `/config`, `/event`, `/stage` and `/user`.  
   Allowing access to `/status` is not recommended, however won't do any harm if done so.
3. Configure bot for usage on your server using `/config set` providing all the necessary arguments.  
   Timezones are compatible with daylight saving time (e.g. `CET` will be interpreted as `CEST` during daylight saving).
