## Setup

The first step is creating a Discord bot, setting up the basics, and inviting it to your server. For the first part you can watch this [video (watch until 2:20)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbq7vPsHDtc).

Or follow these written instructions:

- Setup your own Discord bot, following this [written tutorial](https://realpython.com/how-to-make-a-discord-bot-python/) or this 

- Give the bot admin rights and all permissions possible, since this is the easiest way to set it up.

- Invite the bot to your server.

- Create the text channel where you would like to receive your Instagram updates in.

Last you need to fill in the important information in `config_example.yaml`, so the bot knows which server it should be connected to.

- Open `config.yaml` 

- Write your bot token behind `TOKEN:` (line 2)

- Write your server name behind `GUILD_NAME:` (line 3)

- Write the dedicated channel name behind `CHANNEL:` (line 6)

- Write the dedicated Instagram username behind `USERNAME:` (line 7)

## Combining with your own bot

If you would like to combine this bot with your own bot, copy the `main.py` file and load your own Discord extenions. 

See line 31 in `main.py` on how to do this, or check out my other Discord bot for more extensive Discord bots and examples.
