# Quick start guide

Fastjourney is a Windows application created by a single developer that aims to automate the sending of prompts, upscaling, and downloading images using Discord bot named Midjourney. The app is currently in beta phase

## Legal info

Fastjourney is not affiliated with the midjourney product. We do not cooperate in any way. Fastjourney is an independent solution.

## Pre-Requirements

* Windows 10/11
* Latest Chrome browser
* MS Excel application
* Active Midjourney subscription

## Environment preparation

### 1. Discord Server

Fastjourney works best when you have your own Discord server, detailed instructions can be found in the official Midjourney documentation (<https://midjourney.gitbook.io/docs/use-midjourney-on-your-own-discord-server>)

### 2. Discord channels

Fastjourney assumes operation on a maximum of **three** threads simultaneously for **one** account - this means that you can generate up to **3 images simultaneously** with one midjourney subscription. Due to this, we recommend creating three channels on your discord server:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Save the url of each created channel, you will need them to configure the application**
{% endhint %}

### 4. Excel files

Sending prompts is based on an excel file that you must prepare in advance. Fastjourney threads cannot share the same file with each other, so you must create a separate excel file for each thread you intend to use\

download the template here:

{% file src="<https://1883608441-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FSvhBDcEDhuufE1JoAmql%2Fuploads%2FTdxOoFWKd3WLwKzDcy0o%2Ftemplate.xlsx?alt=media&token=f697a9a7-954d-49cd-9bf5-44acb2c59b91>" %}
excel file tempalte
{% endfile %}

<figure><img src="https://1883608441-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FSvhBDcEDhuufE1JoAmql%2Fuploads%2FMW3mEVGdteecbrGHVTxy%2Fexcel-template.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d855d6c5-654b-4b4b-8d62-b2d232c6e014" alt=""><figcaption><p>excel file example</p></figcaption></figure>

You only complete the columns marked in <mark style="background-color:green;">green</mark>. Columns marked in <mark style="background-color:orange;">orange</mark> will be filled in automatically

* Column A \[Required]\[string] - imagine prompt
* Column B \[Required]\[integer 1-4] - number of images to be generated & upscaled from one prompt
* Column C \[Optional]\[string] - prompt prefix if you want to add some value before your prompt especially useful for image links
* Column D \[Optional]\[string] - prompt suffix if you want to add some value after your prompt especially useful for custom parameters

{% hint style="info" %}
**Repeat this operation for each profile/thread you want to use**
{% endhint %}
