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.*

- [Visual Invite Guide](http://discord.kongslien.net/guide.html) **(Note: Client ID is your Bot ID)**
- Copy your `Client ID` from your [applications page](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me).
**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 `5` and `enter` key, then `y` when you see the following:
Welcome to NadekoBot Auto Prerequisites Installer.
Would you like to continue?
```
That will install all the prerequisites your system need to run NadekoBot.
If you prefer to install them [manually](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#installing-manually-optional), click on the link. *(Optional)*
Once *prerequisites* finish installing.
#####Part III
Choose either
`1` to get the **most updated build of NadekoBot**
or
`2` to get the **previously stable build of NadekoBot**
and then press `enter` key.
Once Installation is completed you should see the options again.
If you prefer to skip this step and want to do it [manually](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#setting-up-sftp) or already have the `credentials.json` file, click on the link. *(Optional)*
[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 `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.)
**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** (that will detach the nadeko session using TMUX) and you can finally close **PuTTY** if you want.
**If** you have chosen option `4` 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)*
You can simply type `.die` in the server you have your NadekoBot to make her restart.
Go to [this link](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#ubuntu) (for Ubuntu) or to [this link](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#linuxcentos) (for CentOS) provided by microsoft for instructions on how to get the most up to date version of the dotnet core sdk!
Make sure that you're on the correct page for your distribution of linux as the guides are different for the various distributions.
Install the **currently supported version**`1.0.0-preview2-1-003177`.
You can find it [here](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/download-archives/1.1-preview2.1-download.md) if you prefer manual installing `dpkg` files.
- Insert your bot **Client ID, Bot ID** (should be same as your Client ID) **and Token** if you got it following [Creating and Inviting bot](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#creating-and-inviting-bot).
- Insert your own ID in Owners ID follow: [Setting up credentials.json](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Windows%20Guide/#setting-up-credentialsjson-file)
- And Google API from [Setting up NadekoBot for Music](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Windows%20Guide/#setting-up-nadekobot-for-music)
- 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.
To set up Nadeko for music and Google API Keys, follow [Setting up NadekoBot for Music](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Windows%20Guide/#setting-up-nadekobot-for-music)
- 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):
