# Setup Custom Bot

Before we start:

* Make sure you have the [gold premium](https://flavibot.xyz/premium).
* Make sure you have the premium enabled on your server with `/premium activate`

## 1/ Go to Discord's developer portal and create an application

Go to <https://discord.com/developers/applications>, log in with your Discord account if this is not the case, and press the **"New Application"** button.

Give a name to your application, agree with Discord policies and press **Create**. Don't worry about it now, **you can always change the name of your bot at any time!**\\

Press the **"Click to Reveal Token"** or **“Reset Token”** button to see your token. You will get a confirmation modal, press **Yes, do it!**.

Now you should see your token, just like in the screenshot above, copy it!

{% hint style="danger" %}
This token is super secret and you should never give it to anyone else without knowing why or you risk someone else taking over your bot.
{% endhint %}

## 5/ Enable the bot on the dashboard

Enable by clicking the switch at the top right like this:
