# Project Setup

Start a new project in IntelliJ IDEA, configuring it as follows:

<figure><img src="https://3915496693-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRd9E855ViOcrHgpuE72h%2Fuploads%2FaKI8VlJDFnufhfYxznwz%2FQBkMc7a.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5b9929cd-e06c-4fb8-85c5-db9f2cf8cce4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<table><thead><tr><th width="136">Option</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>The name of your project, the convention is your name in lowercase followed by "-bots", eg. "party-bots"</td></tr><tr><td>Location</td><td>Where your project will be located on your local machine</td></tr><tr><td>Create Git Repository</td><td>Off (we do recommend using a version control system to manage your code but we won't discuss that in this guide)</td></tr><tr><td>Build System</td><td>Gradle</td></tr><tr><td>JDK</td><td>JDK 17 (preferably Eclipse Temurin)</td></tr><tr><td>Gradle DSL</td><td>Preferably Kotlin</td></tr><tr><td>Add sample code</td><td>Off</td></tr><tr><td>Gradle dist.</td><td>Wrapper</td></tr><tr><td>Gradle version</td><td>I use 8.7 for this guide</td></tr><tr><td>Group ID</td><td>Similar to Java's package naming convention, eg. "com.runemate.<strong>yourusername</strong>"</td></tr><tr><td>Artifact ID</td><td>Same as project name. eg. "party-bots"</td></tr></tbody></table>

When you create this project, give Gradle some time to finish configuring your environment.

Take note of the following two buttons:

\- Left side: Project Browser, shows all of the files in your project.

\- Right side: Gradle tool window, easy access to Gradle tasks etc.
