# Deploy the bot to Azure
## Prerequisites

## Provision a Bot with Azure Bot Service
After creating the bot and testing it locally, you can deploy it to Azure to make it accessible from anywhere. To deploy your bot to Azure:
```bash
# login to Azure
az login
```
```bash
# provision Azure Bot Services resources to host your bot
msbot clone services --name "mychat" --code-dir "." --location --sdkLanguage "Node" --folder deploymentScripts/msbotClone --verbose
```
## Publishing Changes to Azure Bot Service
As you make changes to your bot running locally, and want to deploy those change to Azure Bot Service, you can _publish_ those change using either `publish.cmd` if you are on Windows or `./publish` if you are on a non-Windows platform. The following is an example of publishing
```bash
# run the publish helper (non-Windows) to update Azure Bot Service. Use publish.cmd if running on Windows
./publish
```
## Getting Additional Help with Deploying to Azure
To learn more about deploying a bot to Azure, see [Deploy your bot to Azure][40] for a complete list of deployment instructions.
