# Introduction
Since `v1.2.1` there is a configuration menu that walks you through the exchange and pair configuration.
First, you will need to add an exchange for the bot to trade on. In this example, Coinbase is chosen.
Next, enter your API key information and enable the exchange. If you press `enter` it will use the default value inside the bracket. If no bracket exists then you *must* type a value.
Finally, create a trading pair to add to the exchange. The symbol on Coinbase is `BTC-USD`, but on another exchange it may differ.
Finished! Press `q` to save and quit then restart phBot. You can edit your configuration before the bot starts by pressing `e`.
Remember, you can always edit `phBot.ini` to change an option that is not shown in the menu system.
