• On the left menu, select Bot
• Uncheck the public bot check box
• Click the Reset Token button, to generate a Token ID.
• Go to URL Generator under OAuth2 on the left, and provide the scope as Bot, and permissions necessary as per the bot you want to develop. You can set permissions like Administrator privileges, send messages, send messages in threads, React to messages, and almost all other activities that you can perform on discord
• Copy the URL generated at the bottom, after the permissions are set.
• Go to that URL and add the bot to any of your servers, after all these steps you should have a Token ID and Bot(offline) in your server.
