#SETTING UP MidnightBot ON LINUX UBUNTU 14+
######If you want MidnightBot to play music for you 24/7 without having to hosting it on your PC and want to keep it cheap, reliable and convenient as possible, you can try MidnightBot on Linux Digital Ocean Droplet using the link http://m.do.co/c/46b4d3d44795/ (and using this link will be supporting MidnightBot and will give you $10 credit)
######Keep this helpful video handy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icV4_WPqPQk&feature=youtu.be (thanks to klincheR) it contains how to set up the Digital Ocean droplet aswell.
Assuming you have followed the link above to created an account in Digital Ocean and video to set up the bot until you get the IP address and root password (in email) to login, its time to begin:
DOWNLOAD PuTTY
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
DOWNLOAD and INSTALL CyberDuck (for accessing filesystem using SFTP)
Follow the steps below:
Open PuTTY.exe that you downloaded before, and paste or enter your IP address and then click Open
If you entered your Droplets IP address correctly, it should show login as: in a newly opened window.
Now for login as:, type root and hit enter.
It should then, ask for password, type the root password you have received in your email address registered with Digital Ocean, then hit Enter
(as you are running it for the first time, it will most likely to ask you to change your root password, for that, type the "password you received through email", hit Enter, enter a "new password", hit Enter and confirm that "new password" again. SAVE that new password somewhere safe not just in mind
After you done that, you are ready to write commands.
Copy and just paste using mouse right-click (it should paste automatically)

Move to “midnightbot” folder (note cd -- to go back the directory)
cd midnightbot
NOW WE NEED TO GET MidnightBot FROM RELEASES
Go to this link: https://github.com/Midnight-Myth/MidnightBot/releases and copy the zip file address of the lalest version available,
it should look like https://github.com/Midnight-Myth/MidnightBot/releases/download/vx.x/MidnightBot.zip

Get the correct link, type wget, then paste the link, then hit Enter.

unzip MidnightBot.zip
^Do not copy-paste it
######NOW TO SETUP NADEKO
Open CyberDuck
Click on Open Connection (top-left corner), a new window should appear.
You should see FTP (File Transfer Protocol) in drop-down.
Change it to SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
Now, in Server: paste or type in your Digital Ocean Droplets IP address, leave Port: 22 (no need to change it)
In Username: type root
In Password: type the new root password (you changed at the start)
Click on Connect
It should show you the new folder you created.
Open it.
######MAKE SURE YOU READ THE README BEFORE PROCEEDING
Copy the credentials_example.json to desktop
EDIT it as it is guided here: https://github.com/Midnight-Myth/MidnightBot/blob/master/README.md
Rename it to credentials.json and paste/put it back in the folder. (Yes, using CyberDuck)
You should see two files credentials_example.json and credentials.json
Also if you already have midnightbot setup and have credentials.json, config.json, nadekobot.sqlite, and "permissions" folder, you can just copy and paste it to the Droplets folder using CyberDuck.
######TIME TO RUN
Go back to PuTTY, (hope its still running xD)
19)
Type/ Copy and hit Enter.
tmux new -s midnightbot
^this will create a new session named “midnightbot” (you can replace “midnightbot” with anything you prefer and remember its your session name) so you can run the bot in background without having to keep running PuTTY in the background.
cd midnightbot
######20)
mono MidnightBot.exe
CHECK THE BOT IN DISCORD, IF EVERYTHING IS WORKING
Now time to move bot to background and to do that, press CTRL+B+D (this will ditach the midnightbot session using TMUX), and you can finally close PuTTY now.
And if you want to see the sessions after logging back again, type tmux ls, and that will give you the list of sessions running.
And if you want to switch to/ see that session, type tmux a -t midnightbot (midnightbot is the name of the session we created before so, replace “midnightbot” with the session name you created.)
21)
And if you want to kill MidnightBot session, type tmux kill-session -t midnightbot
######TO RESTART YOUR BOT ALONG WITH THE WHOLE SERVER (for science) 22)
