 | 
						|
*Note: If you want to make changes to Nadeko's source code, please follow the [From Source](#windows-from-source) guide instead.*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Prerequisites
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Optional**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/Download) (Highly suggested if you plan on editing files)
 | 
						|
- [Visual C++ 2010 (x86)] and [Visual C++ 2017 (x64)] (both are required if you want Nadeko to play music - restart Windows after installation)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Setup
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Download and run the [NadekoBot v3 Updater][Updater].
 | 
						|
- Click on the + at the top left to create a new bot.
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
- Give your bot a name and then click **`Go to setup`** at the lower right.
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
- Click on **`DOWNLOAD`** at the lower right
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
- If you want to use the music module, click on **`Install`** next to **`FFMPEG`** and **`Youtube-DLP`**.
 | 
						|
- If any dependencies fail to install, you can temporarily disable your Windows Defender/AV until you install them. If you don't want to, then read [the last section of this guide](#Manual-Prerequisite-Installation).
 | 
						|
- When installation is finished, click on **`CREDS`** to the left of **`RUN`** at the lower right.
 | 
						|
- Follow the guide on how to [Set up the creds.yml](../../creds-guide) file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Starting the bot
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Either click on **`RUN`** button in the updater or run the bot via its desktop shortcut.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Updating Nadeko
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Make sure Nadeko is closed and not running
 | 
						|
  (Run `.die` in a connected server to ensure it's not running).
 | 
						|
- Open NadekoBot Updater
 | 
						|
- Click on your bot at the upper left (looks like a spy).
 | 
						|
- Click on **`Check for updates`**.
 | 
						|
- If updates are available, you will be able to click on the Update button.
 | 
						|
- Launch the bot
 | 
						|
- You've updated and are running again, easy as that!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Music prerequisites
 | 
						|
In order to use music commands, you need ffmpeg and yt-dlp installed.
 | 
						|
- [ffmpeg-32bit] | [ffmpeg-64bit] - Download the **appropriate version** for your system (32 bit if you're running a 32 bit OS, or 64 if you're running a 64bit OS). Unzip it, and move `ffmpeg.exe` to a path that's in your PATH environment variable. If you don't know what that is, just move the `ffmpeg.exe` file to `NadekoBot/output`.
 | 
						|
- [youtube-dlp] - Click to download the `yt-dlp.exe` file, then move `yt-dlp.exe` to a path that's in your PATH environment variable. If you don't know what that is, just move the `yt-dlp.exe` file to `NadekoBot/system`.
