If you want Nadeko to play music for you 24/7 without having to hosting it on your PC and want to keep it cheap, reliable and convenient as possible, you can try Nadeko on Linux Digital Ocean Droplet using the link [DigitalOcean](http://m.do.co/c/46b4d3d44795/) (and using this link will be supporting Nadeko and will give you **$10 credit**)
Assuming you have followed the link above to setup an account and Droplet with 64bit OS in Digital Ocean and got the `IP address and root password (in email)` to login, its time to get started.
- Now for **login as:**, type `root` and hit enter.
- It should then, ask for password, type the `root password` you have received in your **email address registered with Digital Ocean**, then hit Enter.
*as you are running it for the first time, it will most likely to ask you to change your root password, for that, type the "password you received through email", hit Enter, enter a "new password", hit Enter and confirm that "new password" again.*

####Running NadekoBot
**Create a new Session:**
-`tmux new -s nadeko`
The above command will create a new session named **nadeko***(you can replace “nadeko” with anything you prefer and remember its your session name)* so you can run the bot in background without having to keep the PuTTY running.
**Next, we need to run `linuxAIO.sh` in order to get the latest running scripts with patches:**
-`cd ~ && bash linuxAIO.sh`
From the options,
Choose `3` To Run the bot normally.
**NOTE:** With option `3` (Running Normally), if you use `.die` [command](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Commands%20List/#administration) in discord. The bot will shut down and will stay offline until you manually run it again. (best if you want to check the bot.)
Choose `4` To Run the bot with Auto Restart.
**NOTE:** With option `4` (Running with Auto Restart), bot will auto run if you use `.die` [command](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Commands%20List/#administration) making the command `.die` to function as restart.
**Remember** that, while running with Auto Restart, you will need to [close the tmux session](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#restarting-nadeko) to stop the bot completely.
**Now check your Discord, the bot should be online**
Next to **move the bot to background** and to do that, press **CTRL+B+D** (this will detach the nadeko session using TMUX), and you can finally close PuTTY now.
####Restarting Nadeko
**Restarting Nadeko with the Server:**
Open **PuTTY** and login as you have before, type `reboot` and hit Enter.
**Restarting Manually:**
- Kill your previous session, check with `tmux ls`
-`tmux kill-session -t nadeko` (don't forget to replace "nadeko" to what ever you named your bot's session)
- [Run the bot again.](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#running-nadekobot)
####Updating Nadeko
- Connect to the terminal through PuTTY.
-`tmux kill-session -t nadeko` (don't forget to replace **nadeko** in the command with the name of your bot's session)
- Make sure the bot is **not** running.
-`tmux new -s nadeko` (**nadeko** is the name of the session)
-`cd ~ && bash linuxAIO.sh`
- Choose either `1` or `2` to update the bot with **latest build** or **stable build** respectively.
- Choose either `3` or `4` to run the bot again with **normally** or **auto restart** respectively.

- EDIT it as it is guided here: [Setting up credentials.json](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Windows%20Guide/#setting-up-credentialsjson-file)
- Paste/put it back in the folder once done. `(Using WinSCP)`
- **If** you already have Nadeko 1.0 setup and have `credentials.json` and `NadekoBot.db`, you can just copy and paste the `credentials.json` to `NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot` and `NadekoBot.db` to `NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot/bin/Release/netcoreapp1.0/data` using WinSCP.

- If you want to **see the sessions** after logging back again, type `tmux ls`, and that will give you the list of sessions running.
- If you want to **switch to/ see that session**, type `tmux a -t nadeko` (**nadeko** is the name of the session we created before so, replace **“nadeko”** with the session name you created.)
- If you want to **kill** NadekoBot **session**, type `tmux kill-session -t nadeko`
If the [Nadeko installer](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#getting-nadekobot) shows any kind error, check if you have the `linuxAIO.sh` file and make sure its not renamed or if you want to manually install the bot. Use the following command(s):
