 # Telegram Bot that saves photos
 
-Run:
+
+## Things you will need to do to run it
+
+ - Get a telegram bot token from the botFather
+  - Just talk to [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather)  and follow a few simple steps. Once you've created a bot and received your authorization token, copt and paste it into the config file. (botId)
+ - Make sure you have NodeJS and npm installed
+ - Install dependencies.
+  - ``` $ npm install```
+
+All done :)
+
+## Configuration
+
+This bot can be configured via the config.js file.
+Keep the structure of this file as is, and change the values to your needs.
+
+## Running the bot
+
+I would suggest to use [pm2](http://pm2.keymetrics.io) to manage this process. but its your call...
+
+Production Run:
 ```
 $ node index.js
 ```
 
-to debug a single message and exit (For debug):
+Debug Run:
 ```
 $ node index.js --printMessage
 ```
+> This will print out the firs message the bot receives and will exit.<br>
+So you can see user ID and other data attached to the message.
