## Creds Guide
This document aims to guide you through the process of creating a Discord account for your bot
(the Discord Bot application), and inviting that account into your Discord server.
![Create a bot application and copy token to creds.yml file](https://cdn.nadeko.bot/tutorial/bot-creds-guide.gif)
- Go to [the Discord developer application page][DiscordApp].
- Log in with your Discord account.
- Click **New Application**.
- Fill out the `Name` field however you like.
- Go to the **Bot** tab on the left sidebar.
- Click on the `Add a Bot` button and confirm that you do want to add a bot to this app.
- **Optional:** Add bot's avatar and description.
- Copy your Token to `creds.yml` as shown above.
- Scroll down to the **`Privileged Gateway Intents`** section
- **Enable the following:**
- **PRESENCE INTENT**
- **SERVER MEMBERS INTENT**
- **MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT**
These are required for a number of features to function properly, and all should be on.
##### Getting Owner ID*(s)*:
- Go to your Discord server and attempt to mention yourself, but put a backslash at the start
*(to make it slightly easier, add the backslash after the mention has been typed)*.
- For example, the message `\@fearnlj01#3535` will appear as `<@145521851676884992>` after you send the message.
- The message will appear as a mention if done correctly. Copy the numbers from it **`145521851676884992`** and replace the big number on the `OwnerIds` section with your user ID.
- Save the `creds.yml` file.
- If done correctly, you should now be the bot owner. You can add multiple owners by adding them below the first one. Indentation matters.
For a single owner, it should look like this:
```yml
OwnerIds:
- 105635576866156544
```
For multiple owners, it should look like this:
```yml
OwnerIds:
- 105635123466156544
- 145521851676884992
- 341420590009417729
```
#### Inviting your bot to your server
![Invite the bot to your server](https://cdn.nadeko.bot/tutorial/bot-invite-guide.gif)
- On the **General Information** tab, copy your `Application ID` from your [applications page][DiscordApp].
- Replace the `YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE` in this link:
`https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=66186303` with your `Client ID`
- The link should now look something like this:
`https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=123123123123&scope=bot&permissions=66186303`
- Access that newly created link, pick your Discord server, click `Authorize` and confirm with the captcha at the end
- The bot should now be in your server
That's it! You may now go back to the installation guide you were following before 🎉
