Assuming you have already setup and bumped your server at least once, you can [skip to step 3](https://app.gitbook.com/@devlinbots/s/servermate/~/drafts/-MNYAVz4lltKkx161D_r/general/discovery/serverdiscovery#type-discover/@merged)​‌

### Ensure you have set your server up for bumping <a href="#ensure-you-have-set-your-server-up-for-bumping" id="ensure-you-have-set-your-server-up-for-bumping"></a>

Make sure that you have set your server up for bumping by typing `!setup` and answer any question it asks you (Questions that you have to react to in order to edit are not required, you can click ❌ to skip them)‌

### Ensure that you have bumped your server at least once <a href="#ensure-that-you-have-bumped-your-server-at-least-once" id="ensure-that-you-have-bumped-your-server-at-least-once"></a>

Type `!bump` just before you set-up Discovery to make sure that ServerMate has some extra details required for our Discovery system‌

### Type `!discover` <a href="#type-discover" id="type-discover"></a>

To begin set-up, type `!discover` to enter the setup process‌

### Continue to setup <a href="#continue-to-setup" id="continue-to-setup"></a>

ServerMate will then ask you to confirm if you want to complete the first-time setup (if you have already set-up Discovery before, disregard this step). To continue, react with :arrow\_forward: to continue
