2. Rename the .env.example file into .env

3. Create an application from Discord Developer's Portal then copy these things into the .env file.

• Bot Token

• Application ID (Client ID)

• Client Secret

4. To view the logs, Create 5 Channels & 5 Webhooks in a Discord Server corresponding to these logs.

• Server Log (Log new Server Added/Premium Server)

• Error Log (Log Unhandled Rejection Error)

• Ready Log (Log when bot online)

• Command Log (Log command usage)

• DM Log (Log when someone send DM to Bot)

You can also just use one Channel & one Webhook for everything but it will be really inconvenient.

5. One by one paste the Webhook URL in a web browser & copy the ID & the TOKEN and paste it in the corresponding fields in the .env file.
