Make sure you have Node.js and the Heroku Toolbelt installed.

git clone [email protected]:alexa-js/alexa-app-example.git # or clone your own fork
cd alexa-app-example
npm install
npm start

Your app should now be running on http://localhost:8080/test. Put it in your browser to access it's test page.

Deploying to Heroku

heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku open

Alternatively, you can deploy your own copy of the app using this button:

Your app should now be running on https://<app-name>.herokuapp.com/test, where <app-name> is the heroku app name. Put it in your browser to access it's test page.

Changing the endpoint

Depending on where you deployed your app, the path for the endpoint of the skill should have a path parameter at the end called /test. If you want to change that, simply change this line to your desired name.
