## Setup GydrusManager in host machine
[GydrusManager](/gydrus-manager/coming-soon....md) is a program that runs in our host machine making several functions work.
*Some of those functions are:*
* Allows us to interact with host machine directly through [Dashboard](broken://pages/ZiwRlPxK0ZevdwyFWKVL).
* Whitelists our IP address which ensures bot works correctly.
* Offers various VMWare functions such as Clone VM, Stop VM, Restart VM, Delete VM, etc.
* Shows real-time statistics of our host machine.
* Automatically fixes various VMWare bugs as they happen.
Extract the downloaded **"GydrusBot Public VM.rar"** file.
Open "Manager" located inside **"GydrusBot Public VM"** folder.
Open **"Settings"** file and fill it up with your username and password.
* On "clone\_drives" just write down your drive letter - Example: "C" or "D" ("clone\_drives": "C")
* Open GydrusManager.exe.
If your server/pc information hasn't been added to the Servers page yet, GydrusManager will ask if you want to add it.
Click **Yes** and choose a name for your server. Then click **OK.**
{% hint style="success" %}
GydrusManager is now correctly setup, your server/pc added to Servers page and IP address whitelisted.
{% endhint %}
If all was done correctly, you will see that the manager is now connected. ✅
## Setup Bot inside virtual machine
Open virtual machine, configure Bot and update the game. [Or setup bot without touching the VM.](#setup-bot-without-touching-vm)
Inside **"GydrusBot Public VM"** folder, double click GydrusBot.vmx
* VMWare will be opened showing the GydrusBot Virtual Machine.
* Click on "**Power on this virtual machine**"
* Wait for the machine to turn ON and bot to update.
* Enter Username and Password and then click on Login.
* Wait until you see "Updating client state: Idle" - which means the game is up to date.
* Click on the X **once** and wait until Gydrus is closed.
After this, shut down the Virtual Machine going to Start, and Shut down.
## Setup Bot without touching VM
You can setup the bot without opening the VM at all. If you did previous step, [skip this one](#create-vms-and-start-them).
Click once in the Title of the window to change focus to the program, then press F10.
Click on **Start Main VM** and simply wait as the Bot sets everything up and updates the game.
Once you see that the VM has been turned off, it means everything is ready and you can start creating your new clones.
## Create VMs and start them
To create Virtual Machines (instances of the bot) we need to use Gydrus Manager.
Click once in the Title of the window to change focus to the program, then press F10.
* Click on Clone VMs
* Put the amount of clones you want to create.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Example:** if you bought 10 licenses and you want to run them all in this machine, write down 10 and click OK.
{% endhint %}
* Click on Start VMs
* Put the amount of VMs you want to start then click OK.
At this point your VMs will start turning on, but you won't be able to see them in VMWare just yet.
To add those VMs to VMWare dashboard do the following in VMWare program:
* Click on File
* Click on "Scan for virtual machines"
* Click on "Browse..."
* Go to your disk drive where you selected "clone\_drives" (C, D, etc)
* Select the folder called "GydrusClones"
* Click on "Next >"
* All virtual machines will appear there, click on "Finish"
{% hint style="success" %}
All created virtual machines will appear left hand side and you'll be able to click on them and see each one of them.
{% endhint %}
### Conclusion
You have now configured everything and left all VMs running, if you have any questions about the bot feel free to ask in Discord. You can also keep reading the Guide for more useful information.
