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/latest/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).
**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:
(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)*
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`
- Right after [Getting NadekoBot](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#getting-nadekobot)
-`cd NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot/` (go to this folder)
-`pico credentials.json` (open credentials.json to edit)
- 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)
- Once done, press `CTRL+X`
- It will ask for "Save Modified Buffer?", press `Y` for yes
- It will then ask "File Name to Write" (rename), just hit `Enter` and Done.
- You can now move to [Running NadekoBot](http://nadekobot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/Linux%20Guide/#running-nadekobot)
#### Setting up SFTP
- Open **WinSCP**
- Click on **New Site** (top-left corner).
- On the right-hand side, you should see **File Protocol** above a drop-down selection menu.
- Select **SFTP***(SSH File Transfer Protocol)* if its not already selected.
- Now, in **Host name:** paste or type in your `Digital Ocean Droplets IP address` and leave `Port: 22` (no need to change it).
- In **Username:** type `root`
- In **Password:** type `the new root password (you changed at the start)`
- Click on **Login**, it should connect.
- It should show you the NadekoBot folder which was created by git earlier on the right-hand side window.
- Open that folder, then open the `src` folder, followed by another `NadekoBot` folder and you should see `credentials.json` there.
#### Setting up credentials.json
- Copy the `credentials.json` to desktop
- 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 1.3.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.
