Slack-Term

A Slack client for your terminal. As of now the application is in a beta state. See issues for known bugs and for features I'm working on at the moment

Getting started

1. Download a compatible version for your system, and place where you can access it from the command line like, ~/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /usr/local/sbin.

   For the latest version, click here

2. Get a slack token, click here

3. Create a slack-term.json file, place it in your home directory. The file should resemble the following structure:

   {
       "slack_token": "yourslacktokenhere",
   
       // add the following to use light theme, default is dark
       "theme": "light"
   }
   

4. Run slack-term:

   $ slack-term
   
   // or specify the location of the config file
   $ slack-term -config [path-to-config-file]
