You must pass intents to the discord bot. I have seen them passed as ints, and as individual permissions.

If you haven’t grasped JS, see before you begin. I’d recommend to do slash commands instead of text-based commands as they’re more readable, performant and easily made intuitive.
In this case, the first 2 lines of your code should be replaced with

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js");
const client = new Client({
  intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent],
});

A base slash command bot won’t need any intents so it’s more performant. Add more intents when you need to.
