## Installing the cog
This project is a [cog](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html) made for use with *specifically* instances of [Red-DiscordBot](https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot).
See the [Red documentation](https://docs.discord.red/en/stable/install_guides/index.html) for information on how to run an instance of Red. Once you've got it running, come back here.

Now, load the Downloader cog:
```
[p]load downloader
```
The Downloader cog allows you to add Git repositories to your bot in order to download cogs from them.
Now, use Downloader to add my repository to your bot:
```
[p]repo add sea-cogs https://www.coastalcommits.com/SeaswimmerTheFsh/SeaCogs
```
Now, install the Pterodactyl cog:
```
[p]cog install sea-cogs pterodactyl
[p]load pterodactyl
```
## Creating a sub-user

You don't have to specify an allowed IP if you don't want to, but I recommend it. If you chose to, you'll need to retrieve your bot's IP address. You can do this through SSH or through a cog like [AAA3A's IP cog](https://github.com/AAA3A-AAA3A/AAA3A-cogs).

## Getting server information
@ -61,21 +90,21 @@ There's some other information that the Pterodactyl cog needs to function.
First, get the base url for your panel. This does not include any extra information, like server ids, or whatnot. In my case, I'm using `https://mc.bloom.host/`.

Use the `[p]pterodactyl config url` command to set the URL the cog will use.
In my case, I'd use `-pterodactyl config url https://mc.bloom.host/`.

Use the `[p]pterodactyl config serverid` command to add the server id to the bot.

Once you've done all of this, you should see a connection message in the bot's logs. Now, we need to configure some other things.
See the [Configuration](configuration.md) page for more information.
