This is a Hubot adapter to use with Slack.

• Testing your bot locally:

  $ npm install
  $ bundle install
  $ ./bin/hubot

• Run your Hubot:

  $ npm install
  $ bundle install
  $ HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=<your token> HUBOT_SLACK_TEAM=<your team> ./bin/hubot --adapter slack

This is a modified set of instructions based on the instructions on the Hubot wiki.

1. Edit your Procfile and change it to use the slack adapter:

web: bin/hubot --adapter slack

2. Install the Heroku Toolbelt to start, then follow their 'Getting Started' instructions, including logging in the first time:

$ heroku login

3. Then create a Heroku application:

$ heroku create <your app name>

4. Some scripts needs Redis to work, Heroku offers an addon called Redis ToGo, which has a free plan. To use it:

$ heroku addons:add redistogo:nano

5. Activate the Hubot service on your Slack.

6. Add the config variables. For example:

$ heroku config:set HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=<your slack token>
$ heroku config:set HUBOT_SLACK_TEAM=<your slack team name>
$ heroku config:set HUBOT_SLACK_BOTNAME=<your bot name>
$ heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git

7. Deploy and start the bot:

$ heroku keys:add
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku ps:scale web=1

8. Enjoy!
