Deploying a simple pyrus bot to heroku

• Create a Pyrus bot on the bots page (if you already have one to access the Pyrus API, you can use it).
• Clone the initial bot application from github and go to its folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/simplygoodsoftware/heroku-python-bot.git
$ cd heroku-python-bot

• Specify bot's security key in the config file config.json

{
    "SECRET_KEY": "Your-Bot-Secret-Key"
}

• Create and run a Heroku application:

$ heroku create
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "replaced SECRET_KEY in config.json"
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku ps:scale web=1

• Specify the received on the previous step URL in the Pyrus bot settings.
• Create a task in Pyrus and assign it to the bot. You should see the comment with the bot's response on it:

Hello, {user_name}! You said "{comment_text}".
