 ## Dependencies
 
-For now bot requires [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com) and [PhotosAPI](https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/PhotosAPI) in order to function properly. 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.  
+* [Python 3.7+](https://www.python.org) (3.9+ recommended)
+* [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com)
+* [PhotosAPI](https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/PhotosAPI)  
+
+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).  
 
 Please note that Photos API also requires MongoDB so it makes sense to install and configure Mongo first.
 
@@ -26,47 +30,58 @@ To make this bot run at first you need to have a Python interpreter, Photos API,
 > it in scripts you will use (`loop.sh`, `loop.bat`, `start.sh` and `start.bat`).
 
 1. Install Mongo and Photos API:
+
     1. Install MongoDB by following [official installation manual](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/installation)
     2. Install Photos API by following [Photos API's README](https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/PhotosAPI/src/branch/master/README.md)
 
 2. Download the bot:  
-    1. `git clone -b dev https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/TelegramPoster.git` (if you want to use git)
+
+    1. `git clone -b dev https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/TelegramPoster.git` (if you're using git)
     2. `cd TelegramPoster`
 
 3. Create virtual environment [Optional]:
+
     1. Install virtualenv module: `pip install virtualenv`
     2. Create venv: `python -m venv env`
     3. Activate it using `source venv/bin/activate` on Linux, `venv\Scripts\activate.bat` in CMD or `venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1` in PowerShell.
 
 4. Install project's dependencies:  
+
     `python -m pip install -r requirements.txt`  
     Without installing those - bot cannot work at all.
 
 5. Install optional dependencies [Optional]:  
+
     `python -m pip install -r requirements-optional.txt`  
     These are not required but can make the bot run a bit faster.
 
 6. Configure "bot" and "owner" with your favorite text editor:  
+
     `nano config.json`  
     You can edit with vim, nano, on Windows it's Notepad or Notepad++. Whatever.  
     If you don't know where to find bot_token and your id - here you can find some hints: [get bot token](https://www.siteguarding.com/en/how-to-get-telegram-bot-api-token), [get your id](https://www.alphr.com/telegram-find-user-id), [get api_hash and api_id](https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id).  
 
 7. Configure database and API:  
+
     1. Configure database:
         1. Change database host and port in keys `"database.host"` and `"database.port"`. For default local installation those will be `127.0.0.1` and `27017` respectively
         2. Change database name to the one you like in `"database.name"`. It will be automatically created on start
         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. Change `"posting.api.address"` to the one your API servers uses
         2. Run your bot using `python poster.py --create-user --create-album` to configure its new user and album. You can also use manual user and album creation described [in the wiki](https://git.end-play.xyz/profitroll/TelegramPoster/wiki/Configuring-API). You can also change username, password and album in`"posting.api"` to the user and album you have if you already have Photos API album and user set up. In that case you don't need to create a new one.
 
 8. 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.
 
 9. Configure posting time:  
+
     To make your bot post random content you need to configure `"posting.time"` with a list of "DD:MM" formatted strings or use `"posting.interval"` formatted as "XdXhXmXs". To use interval instead of selected time set `"posting.use_interval"` to `true`.
 
 10. Good to go, run it!  
+
     Make sure MongoDB and Photos API are running and use `python poster.py` to start it.  
     Or you can also use `.\start.bat` on Windows and `bash ./start.sh` on Linux.  
     Additionally there are `loop.sh` and `loop.bat` available if you want your bot to start again after being stopped or after using `/reboot` command.
