Before doing anything make sure to have access to a license. **Do not have one?** 

{% content-ref url="license" %}
[license](https://zed-software.gitbook.io/zed-docs/bot-setup/license)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Once you have a license, make sure to download the bot. The download links are available in the discord server, and are private for license holders only. All major platforms are supported:

* Windows 
* Mac
* Linux

{% hint style="warning" %}
Once downloaded, make sure to setup the configuration file and the tasks file before running the bot.
{% endhint %}

Information on how to setup the configuration file.

{% content-ref url="configuration" %}
[configuration](https://zed-software.gitbook.io/zed-docs/bot-setup/configuration)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Information on how to setup the tasks file.

{% content-ref url="tasks" %}
[tasks](https://zed-software.gitbook.io/zed-docs/bot-setup/tasks)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Once both files are setup correctly, you can now start using the bot. Make sure to read the [general](https://zed-software.gitbook.io/zed-docs/general "mention") section of the documentation for more information on how to optimize your setup.
