 A modular discord bot written in javascript, using the [discord.js](https://discord.js.org) library.
 
 This is my second attempt at making a discord bot.
+
+---
+
+To use the bot:
+
+```text
+git clone https://github.com/SileNce5k/discord_bot.git
+cd discord_bot
+npm install
+node server.js
+```
+
+The first time you start the bot with `node server.js`, it will create a directory called data with a config.json file.  
+In this file, enter your bot token.  
+You can also enter a login message, channel and enable it.  
+You can also change the global prefix.  
+Every time you want to change something in this file, you have to restart the bot.
