4. Execute using this command inside the project folder : python3 Bot.py

Note: When running Bot.py for the first time, you'll be prompted to enter your Aternos account and bot token. You'll need to run python3 Bot.py again after you finish setting your information.

• Should you ever need to change the information you can edit the .env directly or delete it and run Bot.py again.
