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.
- Read here how to [create a Discord Bot application and invite it.](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/JSON%20Explanations/#creating-discord-bot-application)
- Now for **login as:**, type `root` and press enter.
- It should then, ask for password, type the `root password` you have received in your **email address registered with Digital Ocean**, then press Enter.
If you are running your VPS/ droplet for the first time, it will most likely ask you to change your VPS root password, to do that, type the **password you received through email** it won't show any changes on the screen like `******` when password is being typed, press Enter once done.
Type a **new password**, press Enter and type the **new password** again and you're done.
**Write down and save the new password somewhere safe.**
After you've done that, you are ready to use your VPS.
**If** you are running NadekoBot for the first time on your system and never had any *prerequisites* installed and have Ubuntu, Debian or CentOS, Press `4` and `enter` key, then `y` when you see the following:
That will install all the prerequisites your system need to run NadekoBot.
(Optional) **If** you want to install it manually, you can try finding it [here.](https://github.com/Kwoth/NadekoBot-BashScript/blob/1.4/nadekoautoinstaller.sh)
[Check this when you need to **restart** your **NadekoBot** anytime later along with tmux session.](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#restarting-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:**
**NOTE:** With option `2` (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 `3` to **Run NadekoBot with Auto Restart.**
**NOTE:** With option `3` (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.
- With option `1. Run Auto Restart normally without Updating.` Bot will restart on `die` command and will not be downloading the latest build available.
- With option `2. Run Auto Restart and update NadekoBot.` Bot will restart and download the latest build of bot available everytime `die` command is used.
**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, release, D** (that will detach the nadeko session using TMUX) and you can finally close **PuTTY**.
**If** you have chosen option `2` to **Run Nadeko with Auto Restart** from Nadeko's `linuxAIO.sh`*[(you got it from this step)](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#getting-nadekobot)*
- 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** you already have Nadeko 1.3.x 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/netcoreapp1.1/data` using WinSCP.
