Adding a `start` script

Add a start script to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node ."
  }
}

Running the code

To run the code, simply run the following command:

bash npm start

Everytime you make changes, you must stop and restart the bot. In order to stop the bot, press CTRL + C, this will terminate the currently running command. You can then press the up arrow key to run the previous command.
