+# Groovy-Zilean Setup Guide
+
+Quick start guide for getting groovy-zilean running locally or in production.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Python 3.11+** (3.9 deprecated by yt-dlp)
+- **FFmpeg** installed on your system
+- Discord Bot Token ([Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications))
+- Spotify API Credentials ([Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard))
+
+---
+
+## 1. Clone & Setup Environment
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone <your-repo-url>
+cd groovy-zilean
+
+# Create virtual environment (keeps dependencies isolated)
+python3.12 -m venv venv
+
+# Activate virtual environment
+source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac
+# OR
+venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install --upgrade pip
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Configuration
+
+### Create `.env` file
+
+```bash
+# Copy the example file
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit with your favorite editor
+nano .env
+# OR
+vim .env
+# OR
+code .env  # VS Code
+```
+
+### Fill in Required Values
+
+At minimum, you need:
+
+```env
+# Choose environment: "dev" or "live"
+ENVIRONMENT=dev
+
+# Discord bot tokens (get from Discord Developer Portal)
+DISCORD_TOKEN_DEV=your_dev_bot_token_here
+DISCORD_TOKEN_LIVE=your_live_bot_token_here
+
+# Spotify credentials (get from Spotify Developer Dashboard)
+SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_spotify_client_id
+SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_spotify_secret
+```
+
+**Optional but recommended:**
+```env
+# Bot settings
+DISCORD_PREFIX==
+STATUS_TYPE=listening
+STATUS_TEXT=Zilean's Theme
+
+# Colors (hex format)
+COLOR_PRIMARY=#7289DA
+COLOR_SUCCESS=#43B581
+COLOR_ERROR=#F04747
+COLOR_WARNING=#FAA61A
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Create Data Directory
+
+```bash
+# Create directory for database
+mkdir -p data
+
+# The database file (music.db) will be created automatically on first run
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Run the Bot
+
+### Development Mode
+
+```bash
+# Make sure .env has ENVIRONMENT=dev
+source venv/bin/activate  # If not already activated
+python main.py
+```
+
+### Production Mode
+
+```bash
+# Change .env to ENVIRONMENT=live
+source venv/bin/activate
+python main.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Switching Between Dev and Live
+
+**Super easy!** Just change one line in `.env`:
+
+```bash
+# For development bot
+ENVIRONMENT=dev
+
+# For production bot
+ENVIRONMENT=live
+```
+
+The bot will automatically use the correct token!
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Configuration Error: DISCORD_TOKEN_DEV not found"
+- Make sure you copied `.env.example` to `.env`
+- Check that `.env` has the token values filled in
+- Token should NOT have quotes around it
+
+### "No module named 'dotenv'"
+```bash
+pip install python-dotenv
+```
+
+### "FFmpeg not found"
+```bash
+# Debian/Ubuntu
+sudo apt install ffmpeg
+
+# macOS
+brew install ffmpeg
+
+# Arch Linux
+sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
+```
+
+### Python version issues
+yt-dlp requires Python 3.10+. Check your version:
+```bash
+python --version
+```
+
+If too old, install newer Python and recreate venv:
+```bash
+python3.12 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+---
+
