How to install and run Midjourney through Discord

Connect your Discord account to Midjourney

1. Go to midjourney.com and click Connect Discord.
2. In the pop-up window, select your Discord account, authorize the bot connection, and ensure the email is correct.

Join the official Midjourney server

In Discord, click “+” → Join a Server → paste the link: discord.gg/midjourney 

Get a Midjourney subscription

Midjourney no longer offers a free trial. Paid plans start at $10 per month, and for commercial use, you will need the pro plan or higher.

Join the newbie channel and get started

On the server, find channels like #newbies-1 or #general‑#.

Enter the command:
bash
/imagine <your idea>

The bot will generate four images. Below them are buttons U1-4 for upscaling and V1-4 for variations.

Invite the Midjourney bot to your server

If you want to work privately on your own server:

1. Open the Midjourney Bot on the official server's member list.
2. Click Add to Server and select the desired server with up to 1000 members.
3. Select the appropriate permissions and confirm the invitation.

To generate images on a private server, each user must have their own plan.
