# First Time Setup

1. First join the RuneX Discord through the ONLY official link -> [www.Discord.gg/OfficialRuneX](https://discord.gg/officialrunex)
2. Do the slash command /runex and insert your access code. If you don't have one reach out on twitter @RuneX\_Tech 
3. Next you will have to open a DM with the RuneX bot. This is **extremely important** as RuneX must be able to send DMs at all times. Simply open a DM with RuneX and do the slash command /checkdm - RuneX will conveniently send you alerts while using. If you miss this alerts it could be bad. So ensure you leave this DM open and don't **ever** close it. If you have trouble with using the /checkdm command, likely your Discord privacy settings need adjusted. See the below as a reference to help adjust your settings.\ <img src="https://3535298051-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FuhDfXHikxnOZy6KVhzTb%2Fuploads%2Fqe2yGHYwVkMIhc4PJidS%2Fphoto_2023-11-15_18-37-04.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=f883165d-b004-4967-9a84-6e73c1aa3a7d" alt="" data-size="original">
