Getting Started
The hardest thing about getting started, is getting started. - Guy Kawasaki
Adding The Bot
Note
You need to have the Manage Server permission to add the bot to your server.
- Go to https://yagpdb.xyz/manage
- Click on Login with Discord in the top-right corner
- Authorize the application to know what servers you are in
- Select the server you want to add the bot to in the dropdown menu
First Steps
Before doing anything, you should first take a closer look at the Control Panel you just opened. It is the main interface for configuring the bot, and is where you will spend most of your time. Visit a few subpages to get a feel for the navigation and layout.
Afterward, visit the Commands tab (Core > Command settings) and make sure that the default prefix (-) does not
conflict with other bots you may have. Also make sure to enable all commands, such that you can actually use YAGPDB.
Try some commands! Something like catfact or dadjoke, to get the party going.
If those did not work, please read the FAQ on the support server.
