Server and Folder Preparation



🔐 Connect to the server via SSH #

1. Open the terminal on your computer (Linux, macOS, or Windows with PowerShell/Terminal).
2. Run the command, replacing YOUR_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS with your server’s IP address:
   ssh root@YOUR_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS
3. At the first connection, confirm adding the key by typing yes and pressing Enter.
4. Enter the root user password if prompted.

🗂 Create a working directory for bots #

Create a folder to store your bot files and scripts:

mkdir -p /MYBOTS

Check that the folder was created and view permissions:

ls -ld /MYBOTS

⚙️ Set folder permissions #

1. If you want, create a separate user to run the bot:
   adduser botuser
2. Change the folder owner to the new user and set permissions:

chown -R botuser:botuser /MYBOTS
chmod -R 755 /MYBOTS

📦 Update the system and install basic tools #

Run the system update and install necessary packages:

apt update && apt upgrade -y
apt install -y python3 python3-pip git curl

🔍 Verify installed programs #

Check versions to make sure everything is working:

python3 --version
pip3 --version
git --version
curl --version
