Update the application

slack.phar self:update

Check out the documentation below for more examples and instructions on how to install the .phar file.

Installation / Usage

  1. Download the slack.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

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 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
