bot-education-ocrbot

A Node.js bot built with the MS Bot Framework for image OCR

To run

Get the prereqs (all install links can be found here):

• Node.js (installs with npm now)
• Bot Framework Console Emulator
• Visual Studio Code or similar tool with intellisense and a debugger
• (Recommended) Enhanced commad line tools such as Powershell
• Knowledge of working on the command line in Windows or Unix (pretty much dir == ls and move == mv and a few others)
• Git to pull down samples

On command line

npm init
npm install --save [email protected]
npm install --save restify

Right now I'm using botbuilder 3.2.3. I'll update this soon, but for compatibility with other samples I chose this version.

If you have the package.json, instead of the above commands then just:

npm init
npm install

Write an app

Write some bot code in VSCode or your dev env of choice and you may pull down some samples from:

• https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples
• or this repo you are currently in which is a bot

Follow instructions in the lab on this repo here for any code you choose to write.
