Installation

Botpress requires node (version >= 4.2) and uses npm as package manager.

npm install -g botpress

Usage

Creating a bot is simple, simply run botpress init inside an empty directory:

mkdir my-bot && cd my-bot
botpress init

Once your bot is created, you may start it:

botpress start

This will provide you with a web interface available at http://localhost:3000

You then need to install some modules. You can do so directly in the web interface, or using the botpress install CLI command:

botpress install messenger
