- Head to [Releases][Releases]* and download `WINDOWS.-.nadeupdater.7z`.

- You will see a file `NadekoUpdater.bat ` and a folder `publish ` after extraction.
- Run/Launch/Open the file `NadekoUpdater.bat ` and you will see it running in cmd.exe asking you with **3 options***1-3*.

- 2) Newest release - release with all features/upgrades.
- 3) Exit

####Creating DiscordBot application
- Go to [DiscordApp][DiscordApp].
- Log in with your Discord account.
- On the left side, press `New Application`.
- Fill out the `App Name` (your bot's name, in this case), put the image you want, and add an app description(optional).
- Create the application.
- Once the application is created, click on `Create a Bot User` and confirm it.
- Keep this window open for now.
####Setting up Credentials.json file
- In our `NadekoBot` folder you should have `.json` file named `credentials_example.json`. (Note: If you do not see a **.json** after `credentials_example.json `, do not add the `**.json**`. You most likely have `"Hide file extensions"` enabled.)
- Rename `credentials_example.json` to `credentials.json`.
- Open the file with your [Notepad++][Notepad++].
- In there you will see fields like `Token`, `ClientId`, `BotId`, `OwnerIDs`.
- In your [DiscordApp][DiscordApp], under `Bot User` part, you will see the `Token:click to reveal` part, click to reveal it.
- Copy your bot's token, and put it between `" "` in your `credentials.json` file.
- Copy `Client ID` and replace it with the example one in your `credentials.json`.
- Copy `Bot ID` and replace it with the example one in your `credentials.json`.
- Save your `credentials.json` but keep it open. We need to put your `User ID` and owner.

**Do this step in case you were not able to install `ffmpeg` with the installer.**
- Create a folder named `ffmpeg` in your main Windows directory. We will use **C:\ffmpeg** (for our guide)
- Download FFMPEG through the link https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ (download static build)
- Extract it using `7zip` and place the folder `ffmpeg-xxxxx-git-xxxxx-xxxx-static` inside **C:\ffmpeg**
- Before proceeding, check out this gif to set up `ffmpeg` PATH correctly http://i.imgur.com/aR5l1Hn.gif *(thanks to PooPeePants#7135)*
- Go to My Computer, right click and select Properties. On the left tab, select Advanced System Settings. Under the Advanced tab, select Environmental Variables near the bottom. One of the variables should be called "Path". Add a semi-colon (;) to the end followed by your FFMPEG's **bin** install location (**for example C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg-xxxxx-git-xxxxx-xxxx-static\bin**). Save and close.
