Getting started
---------------
1. [Download](https://github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term/releases) 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`. Or
get it via Go:
```bash
$ go get github.com/erroneousboat/slack-term
```
2. Get a slack token, click [here](https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens)
3. Create a `slack-term.json` file, place it in your home directory. The file
should resemble the following structure:
```javascript
{
"slack_token": "yourslacktokenhere",
// optional: add the following to use light theme, default is dark
"theme": "light",
// optional: set the width of the sidebar (between 1 and 11), default is 1
"sidebar_width": 3,
// optional: define custom key mappings
// (shown are the default key mappings)
"key_map": {
"command": {
"i": "mode-insert",
"k": "channel-up",
"j": "channel-down",
"g": "channel-top",
"G": "channel-bottom",
"<previous>": "chat-up",
"C-b": "chat-up",
"C-u": "chat-up",
"<next>": "chat-down",
"C-f": "chat-down",
"C-d": "chat-down",
"q": "quit",
},
"insert": {
"<left>": "cursor-left",
"<right>": "cursor-right",
"<enter>": "send",
"<escape>": "mode-command",
"<backspace>": "backspace",
"<delete>": "delete",
"<space>": "space",
}
}
}
```
4. Run `slack-term`:
```bash
$ slack-term
// or specify the location of the config file
$ slack-term -config [path-to-config-file]
```
