### 🚀 Setting Up
#### Prerequisites
Your bot must have all three [Privileged Gateway Intents](https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#privileged-intents) enabled.
#### Logging in
Once you have downloaded and installed the client, simply run it from the start menu or any app launcher.
You should be prompted by a login screen, enter your bot's token and hit enter.
That's literally all there is to it! ✨

### 📚 FAQs
- Q: I'm getting `[DISALLOWED_INTENTS]` error, how do I fix this?
- A: Your bot must have all three [Privileged Gateway Intents](https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#privileged-intents) enabled.
- Q: The client is stuck on loading screen, how do I fix this?
- A: This happens because of mis-configured appdata. Clear the client appdata by deleting your `%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\BotClient` folder if you're on windows,`~/.config/BotClient` folder for linux or `~/Library/Application Support/BotClient` for mac.
- Q: Is there a website version of this client?
- A: Nope, and there won't be one in the future, reasons being it's too much work and simply not worth it.
- Q: What about Android or iOS?
- A: No support for mobile devices, and will never be added either.
