## Creating the bot account
If that's not already done, create an account for your new bot.

First create a token:
```bash
$ keybase bot token create
NucJHeRHtzjCRPYprX7PFdRyebcf4Ug9
```

Then, create your bot with the token and its username, returning its paper key:
```bash
$ keybase bot signup -u friendlybot -t NucJHeRHtzjCRPYprX7PFdRyebcf4Ug9
spider engine secret duck will maybe read secret message ohno act normal screwdriver fridge banana banana
```

You're all set! For other account commands, run `keybase help bot`.
