Step 1: Open Telegram, click the search icon, and open a chat with the BotFather
bot.
Step 2: Type /newbot
(or select it from the menu)
Step 3: Give the bot a name (this does not have to be unique)
Step 4: Give the bot a username (this must be unique)
Step 5: Copy the full access token (both the numbers and letters). Keep this safe. We'll need that
Step 6 (Optional): Use the /setuserpic
command to give your bot a profile photo.
