+##Notes: 
+* If you're testing, be sure to replace the server/channel/account IDs with your own. Otherwise, even though you are running the project locally, it will affect the actual channels! (Ex: there will be duplicate messages, it'll be confused, the state gets weird)
+  
+##To run this project locally:
+* Create a `requirements.txt` file and add the following lines to it
+```
+git+[link to your repo]
+sgfmill
+python-discord
+```
+* Create a `state.txt` file and add the following text
+`[]`
+* Create a `token.txt` file and add your Discord bot token to it. [Instructions here](https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/what-is-a-discord-token-and-how-to-get-one/#:~:text=To%20get%20a%20Discord%20bot%20token%2C%20you%20first%20have%20to%20create%20a%20bot%3A)
+* Go to `rengobot.py` and update the `admins` and `teachers` array with account IDs of your admins/teachers. (I don't think Columbus Go Club uses the teachers function, I actually haven't even looked into what it's for) [Instructions here](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-)

+##Deploying
+We are currently using fly.io with a Docker image. Once you build your Docker image, you can use your image name in the `fly.toml` file
+![image](https://github.com/katie-oh/rengobot/assets/56092878/281e7851-362e-47f3-90b1-9a8e58ca31a8)

+Make sure that in your fly.io configuration, that there is no scaling and that the maximum number of instances is 1!
