- In our `NadekoBot` folder you should see a `src` folder, then *another*`NadekoBot` folder, in this final folder, you should see a `.json` file named `credentials.json`. (Note: If you do not see a **.json** after `credentials.json `, do not add the `**.json**`. You most likely have `"Hide file extensions"` enabled.)
- If you mess up the setup of `credentials.json`, rename `credentials_example.json` to `credentials.json`.
- In there you will see fields such as `Token`, `ClientId`, `BotId` and `OwnerIDs`.
- In your [applications page][DiscordApp] (the window you were asked to keep open earlier), under the `Bot User` section, you will see `Token:click to reveal`, click to reveal the token.
- Copy your bot's token, and on the `"Token"` line of your `credentials.json`, paste your bot token between the quotation marks.
- Copy the `Client ID` on the page and replace the `12312123` part of the `ClientId` line with it.
- Again, copy the same `Client ID` and replace the `null` part of the `BotId` line with it.
- Go to a server on discord and attempt to mention yourself, but put a backslash at the start like shown below
- So the message `\@fearnlj01#3535` will appears as `<@145521851676884992>` after you send the message (to make it slightly easier, add the backslash after you type the mention out)
- Copy the numbers from the message you sent (`145521851676884992`) and replace the `0` on the `OwnerIds` section with your user ID shown earlier.
- Save `credentials.json` (make sure you aren't saving it as `credentials.json.txt`)
- If done correctly, you are now the bot owner. You can add multiple owners by seperating each owner ID with a comma within the square brackets.
- Copy your `Client ID` from your [applications page][DiscordApp].
- Replace the `12345678` in this link `https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=12345678&scope=bot&permissions=66186303` with your `Client ID`.
- The link should now look like this: `https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=**YOUR_CLENT_ID**&scope=bot&permissions=66186303`.
- Go to the newly created link and pick the server we created, and click `Authorize`.
- The bot should have been added to your new server.
- Follow these steps on how to setup Google API keys:
- Go to [Google Console][Google Console] and log in.
- Create a new project (name does not matter). Once the project is created, go into "Enable and manage APIs."
- Under the "Other Popular APIs" section, enable `URL Shortener API` and `Custom Search Api`. Under the `YouTube APIs` section, enable `YouTube Data API`.
- For `"GoogleAPIKey"`, replace `null` with the new key we copied and put quotation marks before and after the API key, like how the `Token` and `ClientId` should be set up.
- You will need to fill out an application form to request access to the Soundcloud API.
- All requests for an API key must go through the review process, where applications will be reviewed on a case by case basis, in line with Soundcloud API Terms of Use. If your application is successful, you will receive an API key.
- Before proceeding, check out this gif to set up `ffmpeg` PATH correctly [http://i.imgur.com/aR5l1Hn.gif](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.
