# Setting up starboard

This page guides you through the process of setting up starboard.

Firstly [add Sly to your server](https://dsc.gg/slybot) if you haven't already.

### Setting up starboard

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need **`MANAGE_SERVER`** permissions in your server
{% endhint %}

Use the following command in your server

```
sly setup-starboard
```

The bot will ask you for the channel in which you want to setup the starboard. This channel is where all the starred messages will be posted. Mention the channel, and the bot will setup the starboard automatically.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Make sure the bot has **`SEND_MESSAGES, EMBED_LINKS`** and **`READ_MESSAGES`** permission in that channel or starboard won't work.
{% endhint %}
