Quick Setup

You don't need to set up every feature at once. This page covers the handful of things worth doing in your first five minutes with Lumière.

1. Check the bot is responding

Run:

/ping

This shows Lumière's latency and confirms it's online and responding in your server.

2. Set your command prefix (optional)

Slash commands work immediately with no setup. If you also want classic !command-style prefix commands, set your prefix with:

/prefix

Leave this alone if you only plan on using slash commands.

3. Set up moderation logging

If you want a record of bans, kicks, warns, and other actions, set up your mod-log channels:

/log autosetup

This automatically creates and configures the logging channels Lumière needs. You can fine-tune it later with /log setup — see Mod Logging.

4. Turn off anything you don't need

Lumière ships with everything available, but not every server needs every feature. Use:

/system control

to enable or disable specific modules and commands for your server. See Understanding Modules and Module Management for the full picture.

5. If something's not working

Check Troubleshooting for the most common setup issues — missing permissions and role position problems cover the vast majority of cases.
