# Getting Started

## Let's get started!

For karaoke to work, it requires you create a role you can assign to users you trust to run karaoke on your server. This role is referred to as the *master role*. 

### Inviting Eventcord to your server

To invite Eventcord to your server, go to [eventcord.xyz/invite](https://eventcord.xyz/invite). Confused on any permissions Eventcord is asking for? Check out [permissions](https://docs.eventcord.xyz/faq#why-does-kariari-require-the-permissions-listed) on the [FAQ](https://docs.eventcord.xyz/faq). For the bot to work optimally and to future proof your server, please provide it with all of those permissions.

## Before we get started

If you intend on using karaoke, please ensure to following to avoid members being left with server mutes outside of events:

### Checking Permissions

Make sure Eventcord has the **Mute Members** permission in all voice channels. This may not be the case if you have fancy role hierarchies. Use **/setup** or visit the dashboard to have the bot list out the channels it does not have the **Mute Members** permission.

## Assisted Setup

Eventcord features a setup wizard via command. Use **/setup.**

## **Manual Setup**

If you would prefer to manually set up the bot, check out [this page](https://docs.eventcord.xyz/using-the-bot/configuration) on our documentation. Manual setup will still automatically check if you have configured the bot correctly.
