**Note:** From `v2.9.0` and onward, Lumi now utilizes a [settings.yaml](settings.yaml) file to manage configuration settings. This allows you to customize your bot's behavior without needing to modify the source code itself.
### Requirements
Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed on your system:
1. Copy [`docker-compose.prod.yml`](docker-compose.prod.yml), [`settings.yaml`](settings.yaml), and [`.env.example`](.env.example) to an empty directory.
