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.*

- Read here how to [create a DiscordBot application](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/guides/Windows%20Guide/#creating-discordbot-application)
- [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).
- 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_HERE**&scope=bot&permissions=66186303`.
- Go to the newly created link and pick the server we created, and click `Authorize`.
- Right after [Getting NadekoBot](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/guides/Linux%20Guide/#getting-nadekobot)
-`cd NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot/` (go to this folder)
-`pico credentials.json` (open credentials.json to edit)
- Insert your bot's **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/1.0/guides/Linux%20Guide/#creating-and-inviting-bot).
- Insert your own ID in Owners ID follow: [Setting up credentials.json](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/guides/Windows%20Guide/#setting-up-credentialsjson-file)

- EDIT it as it is guided here: [Setting up credentials.json](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/guides/Windows%20Guide/#setting-up-credentialsjson-file)
- 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 CyberDuck.
- If you have Nadeko 0.9x follow the [Upgrading Guide](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/guides/Upgrading%20Guide/)
To set up Nadeko for music and Google API Keys, follow [Setting up NadekoBot for Music](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/guides/Windows%20Guide/#setting-up-nadekobot-for-music)
That 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 running the PuTTY.
-`while :; do dotnet run -c Release; sleep 5s; done`
**NOTE:** With Auto Restart, bot will auto run if you use `.die` [command](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/Commands%20List/#administration) so you do not have to manual restart if you ever want to.
Now time 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.
- 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/1.0/guides/Linux%20Guide/#getting-nadekobot) shows errors, try manually installing with the following steps:
