Setup

Setting up Rexus is simple, but it's important to complete every step to ensure full functionality. Follow this guide carefully to get your guild protected in just a few minutes.

1. Invite Rexus

If Rexus is already in the guild and has Administrator privileges, you can skip this step.

Firstly, you will have to invite Rexus to your guild!
Click here and follow Discord's invite process. Make sure to add it to the right server AND give it Administrator privileges.

2. Required settings

This is the most important step. Do not skip it.

Rexus is disabled by default and require some initial information about the guild. This can be configured under General Settings.
➜ Check out #How to section again and start configuration wizard for General settings.

➜ Great! Wizard should now give you some options to choose from. Select Status and enable Rexus.

➜ Once thats done, do the same for Legal option, but make sure to read and understand Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before accepting them.

➜ Last thing missing are administrator and staff/moderator channels and roles.
This choice is entirely up to you. However, please be aware that Rexus will send important alerts to the selected channels and may mention the assigned roles when critical actions or security events occur.

3. Setup plugins

This is the last step!
Explore plugins, set them up and let Rexus do its job :)

General questions

Why does Rexus require Admin?

➜ Each plugin requires specific permissions. I don't know which plugin/s is your guild going to use. To simplify and lower chances of missing permissions, Rexus requires Admin.

Where can I report a bug or make a suggestion?

➜ Please join the support server. There is #help channel. Create a post!

I have invited Rexus, but I cannot see commands. What can I do?

➜ Restart your discord application. If this doesn't fix the issue, make sure your server doesn't have over 50 bots. Join support server if issue presists.

How can I increase plugin limits?

➜ As of now, you can request higher plugin limits in the support server. However, in future this will be paid option.

Where can I support this project?

➜ Best way to support this project is to recommend it to your friends! Donations will be available sometime in the future.

Will Rexus ever be behind paywall?

➜ No. All features/plugins will always stay free for everyone. Increased limits and faster support will however be paid option.
