# Installation

Getting started with AirtokBot is really easy. If you have ever installed any Telegram bot to your group in the past, such as a buy bot or RoseBot then the process is pretty much the same. 

Simply add @AirtokBot to your Telegram group. Make sure you only use the official bot here as some scamers attempt to replicate the look and feel of legitimate bots in order to gain control of groups.

* We recommend giving your bot a custom title that your members can name the bot, we like to call ours "Tok". This has no impact on the functionality of the bot.
* You can set your own /tok alias in the bot settings after installation is complete.
* Tap **Done** to confirm the changes.
