This guide walks you through adding seize to your Discord server and verifying that everything works. You do not need any technical background. Most users are up and running in under five minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Invite seize">
    [Click here to invite seize](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1550954284659638363\&scope=bot+applications.commands\&permissions=8). Choose the server you manage and proceed to the permission screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant permissions">
    seize asks for Administrator permissions so every feature works out of the box. If you prefer a narrower scope, make sure the bot has at least **Manage Server**, **Manage Roles**, **Manage Channels**, **Kick Members**, **Ban Members**, **Manage Messages**, **View Audit Log**, and **Connect / Speak** for voice channels.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check that the bot is online">
    Look for seize in your member list. If it shows as online, the bot has joined successfully.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run your first command">
    Type `,help` in any text channel. seize will reply with a list of command categories you can explore.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a custom prefix (optional)">
    If you want a different prefix from the default comma, run:

    ```text theme={null}
    ,prefix set <char>
    ```

    Prefixes can be up to 5 characters long. To reset back to the default, use `,prefix reset`.
  </Step>
</Steps>
