# Setup of a Discord App + Setup of the Discord SDK (In order to use Core, Activity, User, Overlay)

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to the Discord Developer portal and click on “Applications” or follow this link: <https://discord.com/developers/applications/>

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In your application under the “General Information” tab you can fill out information like the name and the app icon. This will later show when you use Rich Presence / Activity functionality

{% step %}
Also under the “General Information” tab you can copy your application id. This is needed as a input for the [Initialize Discord](/discord-suite/all-nodes/initialize-discord.md) node. <mark style="color:red;">**Do not share this code with others.**</mark>

### Adding the Discord SDK files

{% hint style="warning" %}
To comply with DiscordSDK’s terms of service I cannot include the files for it.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Fast Way" %}
Instantly download the file you need here: [Download](https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download\&id=1WF2QdoYyhRZusob8Zyo2ksaCHtj4xBsY)
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Slow Way" %}

1. Download the file you need yourself here <https://discord.com/developers/docs/developer-tools/game-sdk>
2. You need to download v2.5.6.
3. After you download this .zip file you need to unpack it and go to “discord\_game\_sdk/lib/x86\_64”. In here you need to find “discord\_Game\_sdk.dll”.

<figure><img src="/files/cDEqSzjJKNe7VkYqEoCX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**After you got the needed .dll file:**

* Copy the file to the Win64 binaries folder which is located under “PATH\_TO\_YOUR\_PROJECT/Binaries/Win64/”.
* You also need to add it every time you package your project under “PATH\_TO\_YOUR\_PROJECT/YOU\_PROJECT\_NAME/Binaries/Win64/”
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Restart the engine

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
That’s it. You are all set to use the Discord SDK functions.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to call the [Initialize Discord](/discord-suite/all-nodes/initialize-discord.md) node at the beginning of your game. Then you can use all the other functions out of the **Core, Activity, User & Overlay categories.**
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
