# Setup

{% hint style="danger" %}
This site no longer receives updates. Visit the [**new** **documentation**](https://suggester.js.org) instead.
{% endhint %}

#### Description

The `setup` command starts a walkthrough for configuring the bot in your server.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Initiating setup will wipe all the settings currently set on your server. If you already have configuration elements set, the bot will warn you and give you a chance to abort the command. Once you have confirmed you would like to initiate setup, there is no going back.\
\
If you want to configure the bot without clearing all your settings, take a look at the [config](/docs/v3/admin/config.md) command.
