Setup

It is recommended to run this project in a virtualenv. If virtualenvs are unfamiliar to you, this handy tutorial might be a good place to start.

1. Create a virtualenv for this project, and activate it.
2. Use pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required Python packages.
3. You will require ngrok to make your skill accessible to Alexa for testing. You can download ngrok here.

Quickstart

Follow these easy steps to test your brand new Flask-Ask project.

1. Launch the server by invoking python alexa-skill-creator.py.
2. With the server running, start ngrok http 5000.
3. Configure your app on the Alexa Developer Portal. This video by John Wheeler shows how to deploy your speech assets configuration to the Alexa Developer Portal.
4. That's all! If you are using a browser that supports WebRTC for micophone input (Chrome, Firefox or Opera), you may use echosim to test your script - simply log in with the same credentials you used to deploy your Skill.
