How to use pm2 to autorestart my discord bot

So my discord bot would crash if someone did a wrong command. I did some googling and after I did some research I found pm2. I heard it could run "node ." automatically to start my bot if it crashed, but I don't know how to use it. Does anyone know how to use pm2?

Thanks in advance!

Once you have PM2 started and your processes running through it, run

pm2 startup

to initialize the automatic startup. This command will save your current persistence but if you need to change it later you can run:

pm2 save

It simply starts back up where you saved it so make sure all the processes are in the state you want before doing this using

pm2 list

(this does not change the code or your apps data at the time of the save, just the running state).
