We are now ready to create the bot itself, which can be accessed using the Telegram app on a mobile device. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get started.

2.1. Telegram

2.1.1. Run the Telegram app on your mobile phone or desktop.

2.1.2. Tap «Search» and enter «@BotFather» (no quotes).

2.1.3. Tap «Menu» → «Create new bot» (or just send /newbot command).

2.1.4. It will ask you for a name of your new bot, enter it.

Do not confuse the name of the new bot with its username.
