# You can invite me with [this link](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1038050427272429588&permissions=8&scope=bot). Thanks for using Racu!
**The next part of this README explains how to self-host Racu, this allows you to host your own version of my code and create a personalized Discord bot.**
However, you CAN run it locally without Docker by hosting MariaDB on your machine with the login credentials specified in [.env](.env.template) and installing **Python 3.11** with the [required pip packages](requirements.txt). **Note: I won't explain how to do this. Figure it out on your own.**
