GrimesBot is a slackbot based upon the Travis-ci NorrisBot. It's a no nonsense task orientated Zombie killing 357 magnum wheeling kick ass survivour.

GrimesBot is loaded with Rick Grimes sage like quotes which are emparted every time that someone says “Rick Grimes” in the chatroom.

As simple as installing any other global node package. Be sure to have npm and node (>= 0.10 version, or io.js >= 1.0) installed and launch:

$ npm install -g grimesbot

To run the GrimesBot you must have an API token to authenticate the bot on your slack channel. Once you get it (instructions on the next paragraph) you just have to run:

BOT_API_KEY=somesecretkey grimesbot

To allow the GrimesBot to connect your Slack channel you must provide him an API key. To retrieve it you need to add a new Bot in your Slack organization by visiting the following url: https://yourorganization.slack.com/services/new/bot, where yourorganization must be substituted with the name of your organization (e.g. https://loige.slack.com/services/new/bot). Ensure you are logged to your Slack organization in your browser and you have the admin rights to add a new bot.

You will find your API key under the field API Token, copy it in a safe place and get ready to use it.

The GrimesBot is configurable through environment variables. There are several variable available:

If you downloaded the source code of the bot you can run it using NPM with:

$ npm start

Don't forget to set your BOT_API_KEY environment variable bedore doing so. Alternatively you can also create a file called token.js in the root folder and put your token there (you can use the token.js.example file as a reference).
