Download the [`slack.phar`](http://cleentfaar.github.io/slack-cli/downloads/slack-latest.phar) executable or use the installer. ``` $ curl -sS http://cleentfaar.github.io/slack-cli/installer | php ``` 2. Run Slack CLI: `php slack.phar` #### Installation from Source [](#installation-from-source) To run tests, or develop Slack CLI itself, you must use the sources and not the phar file as described above. Before continuing, you should also install [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) either globally or in the cloned repository below. 1. Run `git clone https://github.com/cleentfaar/slack-cli.git` 2. Run Composer to get the dependencies: `cd slack-cli && composer install` You can now run Slack CLI by executing the `./slack` script: `php ./slack` #### Global installation (manual) [](#global-installation-manual) Follow instructions [in the documentation](https://github.com/cleentfaar/slack-cli/blob/master/src/CL/SlackCli/Resources/doc/installation.md) ### Documentation [](#documentation) - [Installation](https://github.com/cleentfaar/slack-cli/blob/master/src/CL/SlackCli/Resources/doc/installation.md) - Information on installing this package either globally or as a composer dependency. - [Usage](https://github.com/cleentfaar/slack-cli/blob/master/src/CL/SlackCli/Resources/doc/usage.md) - A few simple examples on how to use some of the console commands provided by this package. #### Detailed documentation [](#detailed-documentation) This package only provides a command-line interface to access the Slack API methods; if you want to get your hands dirty on how to use the payloads and responses in your own application, check out the library that this package implements: [Slack API library](https://github.com/cleentfaar/slack-cli). ### Contributing [](#contributing) Got a good idea for this project?
