 * Read Help:Bots
 * Look at what you want to use the bot for. Simple maintenance? AWB suffices. For advanced scripts such as logs and automation and stuff (and simple maintenance), PyWiki is better. However, PyWikiBot is more difficult to use, and does not have a user interface like AWB.
 * Create a new account. The name should preferably make it clear it's a bot and it's owned by you. For example, "RafetheBot" or "RafeBot", "BotRafe". Mine's called TupBot217.
 * Use Special:Contact/general and ask for a bot flag on that account, on your wiki.
 * Learn to use the bot.
