This project uses Amazon Lambda and Amazon Alexa. It requires a corresponding lambda script to work.

This project uses the yowsup library.

Note: The project is developed using Python 2.7 and it is unsure whether it will work on Python 3.

Create your own credentials.py according to credentials.example.py

Run

pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

Follow the instructions in yowsup to register. It has been pretty messy there.

Here is the most useful one: https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup/wiki/Sample-Application#feedback-from-a-newbie-that-got-here

Simply use yowsup-cli to request a code, register and entering the credentials into credentials.py.

To define an alias, modify names.py.
