After you've cloned this repository locally, you'll want to create a virtual environment to keep the dependencies for this project isolated from any other project you may be working on.
If you're using virtualenv run the following commands from the root of your
project directory:
virtualenv envThen activate your new virtual environment:
source env/bin/activateAfter that, you can install all the Python packages this project will need with this command:
pip install -r requirements.txtSlack will be delivering events to your app's server so your server needs to be able to receive incoming HTTPS traffic from Slack.
If you are running this project locally, you'll need to set up tunnels for Slack to connect to your endpoints. Ngrok is an easy to use tunneling tool that supports HTTPS, which is required by Slack.
You'll likely want to test events coming to your server without going through the actions on your Slack team. Postman is a useful tool you can use to recreate requests sent from Slack to your server. This is especially helpful for events like user join, where the workflow to recreate the event requires quite a bit of set up.
