6. Edit the config file

7. put the prefix and command of your choice

{
    "prefix": "!",

(This makes the command !quote) 8. create a bot on https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me then create a bot account:

9. copy the "token" and paste it into the config file

{
    "token": "right here :)"

10. format the quotes so that they each are a seperate line

quote 1
quote 2
quote 3
(no quotations)

11. got to http://textmechanic.com/text-tools/basic-text-tools/add-prefixsuffix-into-line/ and paste your quotes into the text box
12. put " in the prefix box and ", into the suffix box, this shoud format your quotes like this

"quote 1",
"quote 2",
"quote 3",

13. paste it into the quote section in the config file. your config shoould now look like this:

{
    "prefix": "prefix",
    "command": "command",
    "token": "token",
    "quotes":["quote 1",
    "quote 2",
    "quote 3",]
}

now remove the comma from the very last line. 14. create a discord invite by pasting your bot Client Id into where it says CLIENT_ID_GOES_HERE in this link:

https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID_GOES_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=2097176631 

a box should pop up asking you to invite the bot to your discord server. choose which server you want and hit ok

15. run node quote.js to start the bot, it should output one of the random quotes as sign it is online.
16. Check your bot by typing the prefix and command you chose into discord.
