# Invite

***

### **Invite the Bot**

Click the button below to add Arklynn to your server.\
Make sure you have the **Manage Server** permission on the server you want to add it to.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The invite link above grants **Administrator** – the simplest way to let the bot work out of the box.\
If you prefer to grant only the [minimal permissions](#id-3-permissions-breakdown), scroll down to the permissions table.
{% endhint %}
