 ## Library Prerequisites
 * Node >= 5.0.0
-* Winston >= 2.0.0
 * Get your Viber Public Account authentication token. Your token is generated and provided to you during the Public Account creation process. As a Public Account admin, you can always find the account token in the "edit info" page.
 * SSL Certification - You'll need a trusted (ca.pem) certificate, not self-signed. You can find one at [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) or buy one.

+### Using Winston logger
+We provide an option to use [Winston](https://www.npmjs.com/package/winston) logger with our library.
+The only requirement is that you use Winston >= 2.0.0.
+
+```javascript
+'use strict';
+
+const ViberBot  = require('viber-bot').Bot;
+const winston   = require('winston');
+const toYAML    = require('winston-console-formatter'); // makes the output more friendly
+
+function createLogger() {
+	const logger = new winston.Logger({ level: "debug" }); // We recommend DEBUG for development
+	logger.add(winston.transports.Console, toYAML.config());
+	return logger;
+}
+
+const logger = createLogger();
+const bot    = new ViberBot(logger, {
+	logger: logger,
+	authToken: ...,
+	...
+});
+```

 ### Do you supply a basic router for text messages?
 Well funny you ask. Yes we do. But a word of warning - messages sent to your router callback will also be emitted to the `BotEvents.MESSAGE_RECEIVED` event.
