Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')

Hey there, trying to launch your bot after initial configuration leaves me with a bit of an issue.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'startsWith')

EDIT: Current NodeJS version is: Node.js v17.6.0

To my understanding it seems to struggle grabbing the relevant discord bot token. As suggested in CONTRIBUTING.md --

Copy and paste the template.env file and pasted file to .env

template.env currently exists under a directory .env within the project itself.

Any help would be appreciated (:

It's been awhile since I've ran this source, but I believe you copy template.env to a file called just .env. It can be a little bit of a chore to create it in a windows environment
