## Initial setup
After successfully starting the bot up, it will print an invite-link in your console. Click on the link to add your bot
to any server with the correct permissions already set-up.
Run the startup command once. The bot will generate a `config.yml` file in the directory you were when you ran it.
Edit the configuration file and set all values according to your needs.
Save the file and start the bot again. If there are no issues, everything will load and it will print an
invite-link in your console. Click on the link to add your bot to any server with the correct permissions
already set-up.
