Launches the interactive setup wizard that guides you through the full SecurityBot configuration process. This is the recommended way to configure SecurityBot when first adding it to your server.

***

## Usage

```
/setup
```

### Example

```
/setup
```

SecurityBot presents a splash embed with setup options. The wizard walks you through configuration in stages using interactive buttons, modals, and select menus.

## What the Wizard Covers

The setup wizard guides you through configuring:

* Staff roles (admin, moderator, exempt)
* Log channel
* All filter types (name, avatar, link, address, handle, invite)
* Ignored channels and categories
* Verification settings
* Purge settings

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also configure each of these settings individually using their respective commands (`/roles`, `/settings`, `/chat_filters`, `/user_filters`, `/verification`). The setup wizard simply bundles them into a single guided flow.
