To use the bot, you need to put the example configuration file in ~/.config/lytebot/config.yml with your Telegram token.

If you wish to use owner commands, you need to set the owner(s) usernames in ~/.config/lytebot/config.yml. The same goes for the Imgur commands, you'll need to put your Imgur ID and secret in the config file.
