2. Go to Your Apps on Slack, and Create New App.

3. When prompted, select From an app manifest.

4. Select the Workspace you want to develop the bot in.

5. Use the contents from manifest.yml to paste in to the manifest. Make sure to update the request_url key with the publically exposed HTTP_SERVER_BIND value.
