Steps to set up this bot:

1. Download the latest release and extract it to a folder of your choice.
2. Replace the contents of src/config/config.json with your own countdowns.
3. Add your Platform API Keys for Twitter, Mastodon, Tumblr and Discord to src/config/credentials.env.test and rename the file to credentials.env.
4. Add pictures to the slot subfolders in src/pictures/ (as specified in src/config/config.json previously).
5. For the bot to work, you need to install the latest version of Node.js for your OS from here.
6. Once Node.js is installed, open the CLI of your choice/OS and navigate to the root path of the copy of this repository you downloaded earlier (the folder containing the file package.json)
7. Type npm install to install all the dependencies the bot needs to work.
8. To run the bot, type npm run start.

Congrats! The bot should now be up and running!
