8. Inside config.json, remove the text that says insert bot token here and in its place, paste from your clipboard as the copy button on the earlier page should have copied your token DO NOT SHARE THIS TOKEN

9. In the config, replace [email protected] with a contact email that you will use for apis and services that need it (optional)

10. Save then close your text editor and go back to the (Discord Developer Portal)[https://discord.com/developers/applications] page and go to your bots General Information tab and and under the Client ID text it will show a series of numbers (eg. 923819283912931299)
