We created a Slack workspace called and created a channel to insert our slash commands.

Dependecies

• Python3, Flask
• Virgil Security's Virgil Crypto Python API

Instructions

• Create and run a virtual environment: python3 -m venv env, source venv/bin/activate.
• In terminal, run pip install virgil-crypto, pip install flask.
• Create a new Slack app.
• Insert token ID and team ID from Slack into the beginning of slack_python.py code.
• In terminal, run export FLASK_APP=slack_python.py.
• Run the Flask app with python -m flask run.
