Project Setup

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

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

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.
