# 1. Create your Discord Bot

1. Go to [https://discord.com/developers](https://discord.com/developers/applications) and press "New Application".
2. Name the application and optionally upload an avatar for the bot.
3. Go to the **bot** tab, press the "add bot" button and confirm creating the bot.
4. While still in the **bot** tab, scroll down to **Privileged Gateway Intents** and enable the server members, presence and message content intents.
5. Click the **OAuth2** tab. Select the **bot** scope from the list, then select **administrator** from the permissions list. Finally, copy the invite link.
6. Paste the invite link from the previous step into a new tab to invite your bot. Select the server you want to add the bot to and click **authorise**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure that you disable **public bot** or anyone can add the bot to their server.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Ensure you enable all **privileged gateway intents** or the bot will not work.
{% endhint %}
