-The official sheepstar global bot, written in c++
+
+## About The Project
+
+This project contains the source code for the Sheepstar Bot, a Discord bot that is used to create global
+channels. [Learn more here](https://sheepstar.xyz/).
+
+## Installation
+
+To make this process easier, we decided to make a Docker Image. You can install it by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/SheepstarStudio/Bot.git
+cd Bot
+docker build -t sheepstar-bot .
+```
+
+After that, you can run the bot by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name sheepstar-bot -v config.json:/data/config.json sheepstar-bot
+```
+
+You also need to create a config file. See the [config.json.example](./config.json.example) file for an example.
+It contains information about the bot token and the database.
+
