I’ve scoured the internet for a solution and each tutorial didn’t work for me. I had to use what I learned from all those tuts and put them all into practice. And, finally. Finally 😭.

Things you need

Uhm. Typora
Terminal (GitBash)
To use GitBash you need (Git)
Your token from https://sm.ms/home/apitoken (create account if needed)

Install picgo

npm picgo: installs picgo

Their website

npm picgo

You can see available commands by running picgo

picgo -h

Edit config.json

Go to /.picgo directory
On windows: C:\Users\<user>\.picgo

Tip: quick shortcut, search your username on Start searchbar

3. copy and paste the code below into config.json.

{
  "picBed": {
    "uploader": "smms", // Represents that the current default upload image bed is SM.MS,
    "smms": {
      "token": "" // Token obtained from https://sm.ms/home/apitoken
    }
  },
  "picgoPlugins": {} // reserved for plugins
}

copy and paste your token in the “token”: “<paste token here>”.
