Following a tutorial from 2020 and unsure of how I'm supposed to define Intents.

I'm following this tutorial by Sethey17 to make a simple Discord bot for my server that would be able to bulk delete messages in response to a command. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx6oJ4PQDOs I'm on step two and I keep getting the following error when I try to run the code in the terminal. I've checked the code for typos and used JSHint. From what I can understand and find online (mind you, this is the first time I've ever made a bot or used Javascript) this is because Discord needs me to set the permissions for the bot via Intents. I can't seem to get a confirmation on exactly how to do this anywhere online, other than that the way used in Sethey17's tutorial may no longer be correct. How do I fix this so I can move on to the next step?

Node.js v22.11.0
PS C:\Users\dogkn\Documents\Tomatogen> node index.js
C:\Users\dogkn\Documents\Tomatogen\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\Client.js:529
      throw new DiscordjsTypeError(ErrorCodes.ClientMissingIntents);
      ^
