Use [MongoDB's installation manual](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/installation/) and [Photos API's README](https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/PhotosAPI/src/branch/master/README.md) to install install them.

6. Configure database and API:
1. Configure database:
1. Change database host and port in keys `"database.host"` and `"database.port"`;
2. Change database name to the one you like in `"database.name"`;
3. If you've changed user and password to access the db you should also change `"database.user"` and `"database.password"` keys, otherwise leave it `null`.
3. If you've changed user and password to access the db you should also change `"database.user"` and `"database.password"` keys, otherwise leave them `null` (default).
2. Configure Photos API:
1. Register new user using POST /users request on the page "docs#/default/user_create_users_post" of the API. Please make sure you're using a valid email address if you've configured you API to use email confirmation;
2. If you have email confirmation - activate your new user by using "docs#/default/user_confirm_users__user__confirm_patch" page of the docs or by using the link from the email;
3. Now create a new album for your bot using your user. Click "Authorize" on the docs page of your API, enter your login and password, select "select all" in scopes section and click "Authorize". Now you can execute requests as your user;
4. Go to POST /albums (/docs#/default/album_create_albums_post) and create a friendly name for your album. No worries, it will be only used internally by the bot;
5. Now you can configure your bot to use all of that. Change key `"posting.api.address"` to the http/https address accessible by the bot. Avoid using external address without a reason if API and the bot are on the same machine. If you want to see duplicates from the outside you can also change `"posting.api.address_external"` to the one accessible from the internet;
6. Configure API user/password and your album name using `"posting.api.username"`, `"posting.api.password"` and `"posting.api.album"` keys.
1. Create new user and album
1. Register new user using API's `POST /users` request (`/docs#/default/user_create_users_post`). Please make sure you're using a valid email address if you've configured you API to use email confirmation;
2. If you have email confirmation - activate your new user by using `PATCH /users/{user}/confirm` (`/docs#/default/user_confirm_users__user__confirm_patch`) or by using the link from the email;
3. Now create a new album for your bot using your user. Click "Authorize" on the docs page of your API, enter your login and password, select "select all" in scopes section and click "Authorize". Now you can execute requests as your user;
4. Go to `POST /albums` (`docs#/default/album_create_albums_post`) and create a friendly name for your album. No worries, only bot can see it so it doesn't matter what name you use;
2. Configure bot to use that album
1. Now you can configure your bot to use all of that. Change key `"posting.api.address"` to the http/https address accessible by the bot. Avoid using external address without a reason if API and the bot are on the same machine. If you want to see duplicates from the outside you can also change `"posting.api.address_external"` to the one accessible from the internet;
2. Configure API user/password and your album name using `"posting.api.username"`, `"posting.api.password"` and `"posting.api.album"` keys.
7. Add bot to the channel:
To use your bot of course you need to have a channel or group otherwise makes no sense to have such a bot. [Here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/33497769) you can find a quick guide how to add your bot to a channel. After that simply set `"posting.channel"` to your channel's ID.
