-This project was created using `bun init` in bun v1.2.15. [Bun](https://bun.sh) is a fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime.
+1. Clone this repository, d'uh.
+1. You need to have [bun](https://bun.sh) installed.
+1. Install deps with `bun install`.
+1. Setup a dummy Discord bot and get your DISCORD*TOKEN and CLIENT_ID at https://discord.com/developers/applications *(Corey doesn't remember how to do this all this, so if pair with him if you run into problems. Then document it in here).
+1. `cp .env.example .env` and fill in the values for everything.
+1. Find a Discord channel id to use for testing and set it in `.env` as `CHANNEL_ID`.
+1. There is a very simple auth server you can use to invite the bot to your server. Run it with `bun authServer`.
+1. Run the bot with `bun bot:discord`
