-# Setup
+# Getting Started
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+* A maubot instance: Please [refer to the docs](https://docs.mau.fi/maubot/usage/setup/index.html) for setting up one
+* An instance of alertmanager
+
+**Getting the code**
+
+Clone this repository to your local computer and install maubot to have access to the maubot CLI
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/moan0s/alertbot
+pip install maubot
+```
+
+**Login to your maubot instance**
+
+```shell
+mbc login
+```
+
+**Build&Upload the plugin**
+
+```shell
+mbc build -u
+```
+
+You now have the plugin installed. Now you have to set up an instance of the bot in the maubot manager and invite it to
+the room where the alerts should be sent. Also find out the room id by asking the bot for it with `!roomid`.
+
+
+
+**Configure alertmanager**
+
+This configuration will send all your alerts to the room `!zOcbWjsWzdREnihgeC:example.com` (if the bot has access to it).
+Put in your own room-id (see above).
+```yaml

+receivers:
+- name: alertbot
